Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:704
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:704. Apache[1] is the most popular webserver in use today. The Apache Software Foundation and The Apache Server Project released[2] a new version of the Apache webserver which addresses the following security vulnerabilities: 1. Rotatelogs program (CVE-2003-0460)[3] The Hitachi Incident Response team reported that, on Win32 and OS/2, the rotatelogs support program did not ignore special control characters received over the pipe. These characters could cause the program to quit logging and exit. This issue does not affect Conectiva Linux. 2. Denial of service (VU #379828)[4] Ryan O'Neill reported that it is possible to make the httpd server enter infinite loops and crash under certain circumstances. A new configuration directive has been created (LimitInternalRecursion) to avoid these infinite loops and abort the request which caused them if the configured limit has been reached. 3. File descriptor leak Leaks of several file descriptors to child processes, such as CGI scripts, were fixed. 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-2003:704 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
