The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2008:0005.
The Apache HTTP Server is a popular Web server.
A flaw was found in the mod_imap module. On sites where mod_imap was
enabled and an imagemap file was publicly available, a cross-site scripting
attack was possible. (CVE-2007-5000)
A flaw was found in the mod_autoindex module. On sites where directory
listings are used, and the AddDefaultCharset directive has been removed
from the configuration, a cross-site scripting attack was possible against
Web browsers which did not correctly derive the response character set
following the rules in RFC 2616. (CVE-2007-4465)
A flaw was found in the mod_proxy module. On sites where a reverse proxy is
configured, a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted request that
would cause the Apache child process handling that request to crash. On
sites where a forward proxy is configured, an attacker could cause a
similar crash if a user could be persuaded to visit a malicious site using
the proxy. This could lead to a denial of service if using a threaded
Multi-Processing Module. (CVE-2007-3847)
A flaw was found in the mod_status module. On sites where mod_status was
enabled and the status pages were publicly available, a cross-site
scripting attack was possible. (CVE-2007-6388)
A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_ftp module. On sites where mod_proxy_ftp
was enabled and a forward proxy was configured, a cross-site scripting
attack was possible against Web browsers which did not correctly derive the
response character set following the rules in RFC 2616. (CVE-2008-0005)
Users of Apache httpd should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve these issues. Users should restart
httpd after installing this update.
