Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
Package name: apache Date: October 11th, 2000 Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:060 Affected versions: 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7,1
Problem Description:
The Apache web server comes with a module called mod_rewrite
which is used to rewrite URLs presented by the client prior to
further processing. There is a flaw in the mod_rewrite logic that
allows an attacker to view arbitrary files on the server system if
they contain regular expression references. All Linux-Mandrake
users using Apache are encouraged to upgrade to these updated
versions that fix this flaw.
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to
upgrading to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You
can do this by running the md5sum program on the downloaded package
by using “md5sum package.rpm”.

To upgrade automatically, use
<<MandrakeUpdate>>.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package
from one of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with “rpm -Uvh
package_name”.
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the “updates/[ver]/RPMS/”
directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM
package for Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in “updates/7.1/RPMS/”.
Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not
need to download them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours
to update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of
the two above-listed mirrors.
