Caldera International, Inc. Security Advisory
Subject: Linux: mod_ssl off-by-one error
Advisory number: CSSA-2002-031.0
Issue date: 2002 July 16
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
mod_ssl registers a rewrite_command hook when backward
compatibility is enabled. The ssl_compat_directive() is called
for every line read in a configuration file, and contains an
off-by-one error while doing so.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Package
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to mod_ssl-2.8.5_1.3.22-3.i386.rpm
prior to mod_ssl-sxnet-2.8.5_1.3.22-3.i386.rpm

3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
