[slackware-security]  Apache httpd (SSA:2006-129-01)

New Apache packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1,
10.2, and -current to fix security issues.

More details about the issues may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3352

In addition, new mod_ssl packages for Apache 1.3.35 are available for
all of these versions of Slackware, and new versions of PHP are
available for Slackware -current.  These additional packages do not
fix security issues, but may be required on your system depending on
your Apache setup.

One more note about this round of updates:  the packages have been given
build versions that indicate which version of Slackware they are meant
to patch, such as -1_slack8.1, or -1_slack9.0, etc.  This should help to
avoid some of the issues with automatic upgrade tools by providing a
unique package name when the same fix is deployed across multiple
Slackware versions.  Only patches applied to -current will have the
simple build number, such as -1.


Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/apache-1.3.35-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz:
  Upgraded to apache-1.3.35.
  From the official announcement:
    Of particular note is that 1.3.35 addresses and fixes 1 potential
    security issue: CVE-2005-3352 (cve.mitre.org)
       mod_imap: Escape untrusted referer header before outputting in HTML
       to avoid potential cross-site scripting.  Change also made to
       ap_escape_html so we escape quotes.  Reported by JPCERT
  For more information, see:

Installation instructions:
+------------------------+

First, stop apache:

# apachectl stop

Then, upgrade the apache package:

# upgradepkg apache-1.3.35-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz

If you use mod_ssl, you'll also need to upgrade that package.  The
upgrade should save the important config files for mod_ssl,
nevertheless it's a good idea to backup any keys/certificates you wish
to save for mod_ssl (in /etc/apache/ssl.*), then upgrade mod_ssl:

# upgradepkg mod_ssl-2.8.26_1.3.35-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz

If necessary, restore any mod_ssl config files.

If you are using PHP on Slackware -current, upgrade the PHP package.

Finally, restart apache:

# apachectl start

Or, if you use mod_ssl:

# apachectl startssl
