Apache HTTP Server 1.3.42 released (final release of 1.3.x)


                       Apache HTTP Server 1.3.42 Released

   The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
   pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.42 of the Apache HTTP
   Server ("Apache"). This release is intended as the final release of
   version 1.3 of the Apache HTTP Server, which has reached end of life
   status.

   There will be no more full releases of Apache HTTP Server 1.3.
   However, critical security updates may be made available from the
   following website:

        http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/ 
   
   Our thanks go to everyone who has helped make Apache HTTP Server 1.3
   the most successful, and most used, webserver software on the planet!

   This Announcement notes the significant changes in
   1.3.42 as compared to 1.3.41.

   This version of Apache is is principally a bug and security fix release.
   The following moderate security flaw has been addressed:

     * CVE-2010-0010 (cve.mitre.org)
       mod_proxy: Prevent chunk-size integer overflow on platforms
       where sizeof(int) < sizeof(long). Reported by Adam Zabrocki.

   Please see the CHANGES_1.3.42 file in this directory for a full list
   of changes for this version.

   Apache 1.3.42 is the final stable release of the Apache 1.3 family. We
   strongly recommend that users of all earlier versions, including 1.3
   family releases, upgrade to to the current 2.2 version as soon as possible.
   For information about how to upgrade, please see the documentation:
          
	  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/upgrading.html


   Apache 1.3.42 is available for download from

           http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

   This service utilizes the network of mirrors listed at:

           http://www.apache.org/mirrors/

   Binary distributions may be available for your specific platform from

           http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/

   Binaries distributed by the Apache HTTP Server Project are provided as a
   courtesy by individual project contributors. The project makes no
   commitment to release the Apache HTTP Server in binary form for any
   particular platform, nor on any particular schedule.

   IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APACHE USERS: Apache 1.3 was designed for Unix OS
   variants. While the ports to non-Unix platforms (such as Win32, Netware or
   OS2) will function for some applications, Apache 1.3 is not designed for
   these platforms. Apache 2 was designed from the ground up for security,
   stability, or performance issues across all modern operating systems.
   Users of any non-Unix ports are strongly cautioned to move to Apache 2.

   The Apache project no longer distributes non-Unix platform binaries from
   the main download pages for Apache 1.3. If absolutely necessary, a binary
   may be available at http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/.

CVE-2010-0295

lighttpd before 1.4.26, and 1.5.x, allocates a buffer for each read operation that occurs for a request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by breaking a request into small pieces that are sent at a slow rate. (CVSS:5.0) (Last Update:2011-01-26)

Hash: SHA1

            Apache HTTP Server 2.3.5-alpha Released

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the release of version 2.3.5-alpha of the Apache HTTP
Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is principally an alpha release
to test new technology and features that are incompatible or too large for
the stable 2.2.x branch. This alpha release should not be presumed to
be compatible with binaries built against any prior or future version.


Apache HTTP Server 2.3.5-alpha is available for download from:

  http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Apache 2.3 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
boosts over the 2.2 codebase.  For an overview of new features
introduced since 2.3 please see:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html

Please see the CHANGES_2.3 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes.

This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.2
and APR-Util version 1.3.9 in a separate -deps tarball.  The APR libraries
must be upgraded for all features of httpd to operate correctly.

This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API.  Modules written
for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
2.3, and require minimal or no source code changes.

SA-CORE-2009-009 – Drupal Core – Cross site scripting

  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2009-009
  • Project: Drupal core
  • Version: 5.x, 6.x
  • Date: 2009-December-16
  • Security risk: Not critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross site scripting

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Drupal.

Contact category name cross-site scripting

The Contact module does not correctly handle certain user input when displaying category information. Users privileged to create contact categories can insert arbitrary HTML and script code into the contact module administration page. Such a cross-site scripting attack may lead to the malicious user gaining administrative access. Wikipedia has more information about cross-site scripting (XSS).

This issue affects Drupal 6.x and Drupal 5.x.

Menu description cross-site scripting

The Menu module does not correctly handle certain user input when displaying the menu administration overview. Users privileged to create new menus can insert arbitrary HTML and script code into the menu module administration page. Such a cross-site scripting attack may lead to the malicious user gaining administrative access. Wikipedia has more information about cross-site scripting (XSS).

This issue affects Drupal 6.x only.

Versions affected

  • Drupal 5.x before version 5.21.
  • Drupal 6.x before version 6.15.

Solution

Install the latest version:

  • If you are running Drupal 6.x then upgrade to Drupal 6.15.
  • If you are running Drupal 5.x then upgrade to Drupal 5.21.

If you are unable to upgrade immediately, you can apply a patch to secure your installation until you are able to do a proper upgrade. Theses patches fix the security vulnerability, but do not contain other fixes which were released in Drupal 5.21 or Drupal 6.15.

Reported by

The contact category XSS issue was independently reported by mr.baileys and Justin Klein Keane.
The menu description XSS issue was reported by mr.baileys.

Fixed by

The contact category XSS issue was fixed by Justin Klein Keane and Dave Reid.
The menu description XSS issue was fixed by Gábor Hojtsy and Heine Deelstra.

(CVSS:5.0) (Last Update:2013-09-11)

CVE-2009-3555 – apache/mod_ssl vulnerability and mitigation

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Subject: CVE-2009-3555 - apache/mod_ssl vulnerability and mitigation

Apache httpd is affected by CVE-2009-3555[1] (The SSL Injection 
or MiM attack[2]).

The Apache httpd webserver relies on OpenSSL for the implementation of 
the SSL/TLS protocol.

We strongly urge you to upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8l; and to be prepared 
to deploy OpenSSL 0.9.8m as it becomes available[3]. 

Note that these are for short term and mid-term mitigation only; the 
long term solution may well require a modification of the SSL and/or 
TLS protocols[4].

For those who are not able to upgrade OpenSSL swiftly and/or for 
those who need detailed logging - we recommend that you roll out 
this patch[5]:

  http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/
       apply_to_2.2.14 CVE-2009-3555-2.2.patch
 sha1: 28cd58f3758f1add39417333825b9d854f4f5f43

as soon as possible. This is a partial fix in lieu of the protocol 
issues being addressed and further changes to OpenSSL. Like the 
OpenSSL 0.9.8l stopgap measure this patch rejects 
in-session renegotiation.

If you are unable to patch and unable to roll our a newer version of 
OpenSSL, and you rely on Client Side Authentication with Certificates 
then we recommend that you 1) ensure that you limit your configuration 
to a single 'SSLClient require' on VirtualHost/Sever level and 2) 
remove all other (re)negotiation/require directives. However this does 
NOT fully protect you - it just curtails authentication in this 
specific setting.
