Beschreibung:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:504. Apache[1] is the most popular webserver in use today. mod_ssl[2] is an Apache module which enables the use of encrypted connections (https://) to the web server and provides a set of crypto and authentication related functions. This module is not part of the apache distribution, but is bundled and enabled by default in the Conectiva Linux Apache packages. An off-by-one buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the code which handles entries in .htaccess files in mod_ssl <= 2.8.9. It was discovered[3] by Frank DENIS (Jedi/Sector One) . The htaccess mechanism is disabled by default in Conectiva Linux and can be controled by the AllowOverride variable in the apache configuration file. It is useful to allow non privileged users to customize the configuration of their sites. An attacker who can manipulate the contents of the .htaccess file can potentially cause a DoS or even execute arbitrary commands in the httpd service context, which is run by an unprivileged user (typically www or nobody). Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2002:504 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
