| Descripción: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'apache' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-305-01 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
New apache packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0,
and -current to fix a security issue. Apache has been upgraded to
version 1.3.33 which fixes a buffer overflow which may allow local
users to execute arbitrary code as the apache user.
The mod_ssl package has also been upgraded to version 2.8.22_1.3.33.

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/apache-1.3.33-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.33.
This fixes one new security issue (the first issue, CAN-2004-0492, was fixed
in apache-1.3.33). The second bug fixed in 1.3.3 (CAN-2004-0940) allows a
local user who can create SSI documents to become 'nobody'. The amount of
mischief they could cause as nobody seems low at first glance, but it might
allow them to use kill or killall as nobody to try to create a DoS.
Mention PHP's mhash dependency in httpd.conf (thanks to Jakub Jankowski).
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.22_1.3.33-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to
