<p>
mod_ssl provides Secure Sockets Layer encryption and authentication to
Apache 1.3.
</p>

<description>
<p>
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>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
Given the right server configuration, an attacker could execute code as the
user running Apache, usually &quot;apache&quot;.
</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>
</resolution>
