    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-21 (Apache 2, mod_dav: Multiple vulnerabilities) A potential infinite loop has been found in the input filter of mod_ssl (CAN-2004-0748) as well as a possible segmentation fault in the char_buffer_read function if reverse proxying to a SSL server is being used (CAN-2004-0751). Furthermore, mod_dav, as shipped in Apache httpd 2 or mod_dav 1.0.x for Apache 1.3, contains a NULL pointer dereference which can be triggered remotely (CAN-2004-0809). The third issue is an input validation error found in the IPv6 URI parsing routines within the apr-util library (CAN-2004-0786). Additionally a possible buffer overflow has been reported when expanding environment variables during the parsing of configuration files (CAN-2004-0747). Impact : A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service either by aborting a SSL connection in a special way, resulting in CPU consumption, by exploiting the segmentation fault in mod_ssl or the mod_dav flaw. A remote attacker could also crash a httpd child process by sending a specially crafted URI. The last vulnerability could be used by a local user to gain the privileges of a httpd child, if the server parses a carefully prepared .htaccess file. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

    Four issues have been discovered affecting releases of the Apache HTTP
    2.0 Server, up to and including version 2.0.50 :
    
    Testing using the Codenomicon HTTP Test Tool performed by the Apache
    Software Foundation security group and Red Hat uncovered an input
    validation issue in the IPv6 URI parsing routines in the apr-util
    library. If a remote attacker sent a request including a carefully

    is not believed to allow arbitrary code execution on Red Hat

    denial of service attack as requests will continue to be handled by
    other Apache child processes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
    project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0786 to this
    issue.
    
    The Swedish IT Incident Centre (SITIC) reported a buffer overflow in
    the expansion of environment variables during configuration file
    parsing. This issue could allow a local user to gain 'apache'
    privileges if an httpd process can be forced to parse a carefully
    crafted .htaccess file written by a local user. The Common
    Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
    name CVE-2004-0747 to this issue.
    
    An issue was discovered in the mod_ssl module which could be triggered
    if the server is configured to allow proxying to a remote SSL server.
    A malicious remote SSL server could force an httpd child process to
    crash by sending a carefully crafted response header. This issue is
    not believed to allow execution of arbitrary code. This issue also
    does not represent a significant Denial of Service attack as requests
    will continue to be handled by other Apache child processes. The
    Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
    assigned the name CVE-2004-0751 to this issue.
    
    An issue was discovered in the mod_dav module which could be triggered
    for a location where WebDAV authoring access has been configured. A
    malicious remote client which is authorized to use the LOCK method
    could force an httpd child process to crash by sending a particular
    sequence of LOCK requests. This issue does not allow execution of
    arbitrary code. This issue also does not represent a significant
    Denial of Service attack as requests will continue to be handled by
    other Apache child processes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
    project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0809 to this
    issue.

    descriptionTwo Denial of Service conditions were discovered in the input filter of mod_ssl, the module that enables apache to handle HTTPS requests. Another vulnerability was discovered by the ASF security team using the Codenomicon HTTP Test Tool. This vulnerability, in the apr-util library, can possibly lead to arbitrary code execution if certain non-default conditions are met (enabling the AP_ENABLE_EXCEPTION_HOOK define). As well, the SITIC have discovered a buffer overflow when Apache expands environment variables in configuration files such as .htaccess and httpd.conf, which can lead to possible privilege escalation. This can only be done, however, if an attacker is able to place malicious configuration files on the server. Finally, a crash condition was discovered in the mod_dav module by Julian Reschke, where sending a LOCK refresh request to an indirectly locked resource could crash the server. The updated packages have been patched to protect against these vulnerabilities.
