|
|
A bug in ssl_engine_ext.c makes mod_ssl vulnerable to a ssl_log() related
|
|
format string vulnerability in the mod_proxy hook functions.
|
|
</p>

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Given the right server configuration, an attacker could execute code as the
|
|
user running Apache, usually "apache".
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A server should not be vulnerable if it is not using both mod_ssl and
|
|
mod_proxy. Otherwise there is no workaround other than to disable mod_ssl.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All mod_ssl users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.19"
|
|
# emerge ">=net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.19"</code>
