Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
| Package name: | gkrellm |
| Advisory ID: | MDKSA-2003:087 |
| Date: | August 28th, 2003 |
| Affected versions: | 9.1 |
Problem Description:
A buffer overflow was discovered in gkrellmd, the server
component of the gkrellm monitor package, in versions of gkrellm
2.1.x prior to 2.1.14. This buffer overflow occurs while reading
data from connected gkrellm clients and can lead to possible
arbitrary code execution as the user running the gkrellmd
server.
Updated packages are available for Mandrake Linux 9.1 which
correct the problem.

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
| Package name: | apache2 |
| Advisory ID: | MDKSA-2003:075-1 |
| Date: | August 28th, 2003 |
| Original Advisory Date: | July 21st, 2003 |
| Affected versions: | 9.1 |
Problem Description:
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Apache 2.x versions
prior to 2.0.47. From the Apache 2.0.47 release notes:
Certain sequences of per-directory renegotiations and the
SSLCipherSuite directive being used to upgrade from a weak
ciphersuite to a strong one could result in the weak ciphersuite
being used in place of the new one (CAN-2003-0192).
Certain errors returned by accept() on rarely accessed ports
could cause temporary Denial of Service due to a bug in the prefork
MPM (CAN-2003-0253).
Denial of Service was caused when target host is IPv6 but FTP
proxy server can’t create IPv6 socket (CAN-2003-0254).
The server would crash when going into an infinite loop due to
too many subsequent internal redirects and nested subrequests
(VU#379828).
The Apache Software Foundation thanks Saheed Akhtar and Yoshioka
Tsuneo for responsibly reporting these issues.
To upgrade these apache packages, first stop Apache by issuing,
as root:
service httpd stop
After the upgrade, restart Apache with:
service httpd start
Update:
The previously released packages had a manpage conflict between
apache2-common and apache-1.3 that prevented both packages from
being installed at the same time. This update provides a fixed
apache2-common package.
