Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51165
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2004:408
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2004:408.

The mod_ssl module provides strong cryptography for the Apache Web
server via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security
(TLS) protocols.

A format string issue was discovered in mod_ssl for Apache 1.3 which can be
triggered if mod_ssl is configured to allow a client to proxy to remote SSL
sites. In order to exploit this issue, a user who is authorized to use
Apache as a proxy would have to attempt to connect to a carefully crafted
hostname via SSL. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0700 to this issue.

Users of mod_ssl should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to correct this issue.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
