Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52816
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-133-1 (apache)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to apache
announced via advisory USN-133-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected: apache-utils

A buffer overflow was discovered in the htpasswd utility. This could
be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
invoking htpasswd. This is only a security vulnerability if you have a
website that offers a public interface to htpasswd without checking
the input beforehand
however, this is very unusual.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1.3.31-6ubuntu0.7. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
