| Description: | Description:
The remote host is missing an update to apache
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:153.
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in apache:
The mod_cache and mod_dav modules in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x
before 2.2.16 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(process crash) via a request that lacks a path (CVE-2010-1452).
mod_proxy in httpd in Apache HTTP Server 2.2.9, when running on Unix,
does not close the backend connection if a timeout occurs when reading
a response from a persistent connection, which allows remote attackers
to obtain a potentially sensitive response intended for a different
client in opportunistic circumstances via a normal HTTP request.
NOTE: this is the same issue as CVE-2010-2068, but for a different
OS and set of affected versions (CVE-2010-2791).
Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance
Program. Please visit this link to learn more:

Affected: 2009.0, Enterprise Server 5.0

To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
