Netwosix Linux Security Advisory #2004-0006 <http://www.netwosix.org>;
=2D -----------------------------------------------------------------------=
=2D-----------
Package name: apache
Summary: Multiple security vulnerabilities in Apache 2.x
Date: 2004-03-25
Affected versions: Netwosix 1.0
Netwosix 1.1
***************************************************************************=
*********
=2D -> Package description:
=2D ------------------------
The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an=20
open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and=20
Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and=
=20
extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP=
=20
standards.
=2D -> Problem description:
=2D ------------------------
Apache before 2.0.49, when using multiple listening sockets on certain=20
platforms, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (blocked ne=
w=20
connections) via a "short-lived connection on a rarely-accessed listening=20
socket."
Apache does not filter terminal escape sequences from its error logs, which=
=20
could make it easier for attackers to insert those sequences into terminal=
=20
emulators containing vulnerabilities related to escape sequences.
Memory leak in ssl_engine_io.c for mod_ssl in Apache 2 before 2.0.49 allows=
=20
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via plai=
n=20
HTTP requests to the SSL port of an SSL-enabled server.

=2D -> About Linux Netwosix:
=2D ---------------------------------
Linux Netwosix is a powerful and optimized Linux distribution for servers
and Network Security related jobs. It can also be used for special operati=
ons
such as penetration testing with its big collection of security oriented
software and sources. It's a light distribution created for the requirements
of every SysAdmin and it's very portable and highly configurable. Our
philosophy is to give greater liberty for configuration to the SysAdmin.
Only in this way can he/she configure a powerful and stable server machine.

systems but more flexible and usable.
