1. Topic:

Updated Secure Web Server packages are now available for users
of Secure Web Server 3.2.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Secure Web Server 3.2 – i386

3. Problem description:

Security bugs in versions of Apache prior to 1.3.14 also affect
Secure Web Server. A new release which incorporates 1.3.14 is now
available.

4. Solution:

Some of these files are distributed in rhmask format and may
only be used by individuals who have purchased Red Hat Linux 6.2
Professional.

To produce installable RPM files from the rhmask files, retrieve
the rhmask files via ftp and type the following:

rhmask secureweb-3.2-12.i386.rpm
secureweb-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm.rhmask

The original RPM is located only on your Secure Web Server CD,
and cannot be obtained via the Internet. Note: if you do not have
the original RPM located in the same directory as the rhmask file,
you will need to prefix the name of the RPM with the full path name
to its location (i.e. on your installation CD).

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM package.

To restart your Secure Web Server, type the following:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd restart

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
for more info):

14147 – The conf directive “SSLOptions +StdEnvVars” for mod_ssl
will cause every request to seg fault.

6. RPMs required:

Red Hat Secure Web Server 3.2:

i386:

ftp://updates.redhat.com/secureweb/3.2/i386/secureweb-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm.rhmask

sources:

7. Verification:

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our
key is available at:

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm –checksig <filename>

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been
corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the
following command:
rpm –checksig –nogpg <filename>
