Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:465
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:465. mod_ssl[1] is an Apache module which enables the use of encrypted connections (https://) to the web server and other crypto-related functions. Ed Moyle announced[2] a buffer overflow vulnerability[3] in the mod_ssl module. This module is not part of the apache distribution, but is bundled and enabled by default in the Conectiva Linux Apache packages. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability and execute arbitrary commands on the server running apache with this module enabled. A probable way to explore this is via client certificate authentication, where the attacker would use a specially crafted certificate to overflow this buffer. Since this vulnerability happens only after the client certificate has been checked, this means that it would have to be signed by a CA accepted by the apache server. 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-2002:465 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
