apache security update
| Advisory: | RHSA-2002:126-15 |
|---|---|
| Type: | Security Advisory |
| Severity: | Moderate |
| Issued on: | 2002-06-24 |
| Last updated on: | 2002-07-16 |
| Affected Products: | Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1) |
| CVEs (cve.mitre.org): |
CVE-2002-0392 |
Details
The Apache Web server contains a security vulnerability which can be used
to launch a denial of service (DoS) attack or, in some cases, allow remote
code execution.
Versions of the Apache Web server up to and including 1.3.24 contain a bug
in the routines which deal with requests using "chunked" encoding.
A carefully crafted invalid request can cause an Apache child process to
call the memcpy() function in a way that will write past the end of its
buffer, corrupting the stack. On some platforms this can be remotely
exploited -- allowing arbitrary code to be run on the server.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2002-0392 to this issue.
All users of Apache should update to these errata packages to correct this
security issue.
