Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory

---

---

Problem Description:

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the Apache web server
that affect all 2.x versions prior to 2.0.46. The first, discovered
by John Hughes, is a build system problem that allows remote
attackers to prevent access to authenticated content when a
threaded server is used. This only affects versions of Apache
compiled with threaded server “httpd.worker”, which is not the
default for Mandrake Linux.

The second vulnerability, discovered by iDefense, allows remote
attackers to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) condition and may also
allow the execution of arbitrary code.

The provided packages include back-ported fixes to correct these
vulnerabilities and MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade
immediately.

Update:

The previous update mistakenly listed apache-conf packages which
were never included, nor intended to be included, as part of the
update.
