| Description: | Description:
The remote host is missing an update to apache2
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:161.
A flaw was discovered in mod_ssl's handling of the SSLVerifyClient
directive. This flaw occurs if a virtual host is configured
using SSLVerifyClient optional and a directive SSLVerifyClient
required is set for a specific location. For servers configured in
this fashion, an attacker may be able to access resources that should
otherwise be protected, by not supplying a client certificate when
connecting. (CVE-2005-2700)
A flaw was discovered in Apache httpd where the byterange filter would
buffer certain responses into memory. If a server has a dynamic
resource such as a CGI script or PHP script that generates a large
amount of data, an attacker could send carefully crafted requests in
order to consume resources, potentially leading to a Denial of Service.
(CVE-2005-2728)
The updated packages have been patched to address these issues.
Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
Multi Network Firewall 2.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
