| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'httpd'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
The httpd packages contain the Apache HTTP Server (httpd), which is the
namesake project of The Apache Software Foundation.
Input sanitization flaws were found in the mod_negotiation module. A remote
attacker able to upload or create files with arbitrary names in a directory
that has the MultiViews options enabled, could use these flaws to conduct
cross-site scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks against users
visiting the site. (CVE-2008-0455, CVE-2008-0456, CVE-2012-2687)
Bug fixes:
* Previously, no check was made to see if the
/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key file was a valid key prior to running
the '%post' script for the 'mod_ssl' package. Consequently, when
/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt did not exist and 'localhost.key' was
present but invalid, upgrading the Apache HTTP Server daemon (httpd) with
mod_ssl failed. The '%post' script has been fixed to test for an existing
SSL key. As a result, upgrading httpd with mod_ssl now proceeds as
expected. (BZ#752618)
* The 'mod_ssl' module did not support operation under FIPS mode.
Consequently, when operating Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with FIPS mode
enabled, httpd failed to start. An upstream patch has been applied to
disable non-FIPS functionality if operating under FIPS mode and httpd now
starts as expected. (BZ#773473)
