Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50844
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:072 (mod_ssl)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to mod_ssl
announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:072.

A cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in mod_ssl by Joe
Orton. This only affects servers using a combination of wildcard DNS
and UseCanonicalName off (which is not the default in Mandrake
Linux). With this setting turned off, Apache will attempt to use the
hostname:port that the client supplies, which is where the problem
comes into play. With this setting turned on (the default), Apache
constructs a self-referencing URL and will use ServerName and Port to
form the canonical name.

It is recommended that all users upgrade, regardless of the setting of
the UseCanonicalName configuration option.

Affected versions: 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0,
Single Network Firewall 7.2


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
