Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53851
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 135-1 (libapache-mod-ssl)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to libapache-mod-ssl;announced via advisory DSA 135-1.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to libapache-mod-ssl
announced via advisory DSA 135-1.

Vulnerability Insight:
The libapache-mod-ssl package provides SSL capability to the apache
webserver.
Recently, a problem has been found in the handling of .htaccess files,
allowing arbitrary code execution as the web server user (regardless of
ExecCGI / suexec settings), DoS attacks (killing off apache children), and
allowing someone to take control of apache child processes - all through
specially crafted .htaccess files.
More information about this vulnerability can be found at the references.

Solution:
This has been fixed in the libapache-mod-ssl_2.4.10-1.3.9-1potato2 package
(for potato), and the libapache-mod-ssl_2.8.9-2 package (for woody).
We recommend you upgrade as soon as possible.
