<p>
The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
Internet.
</p>

<description>
<p>
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Dustin Kirkland reported that the mod_ssl module can leak memory when
the client reports support for a compression algorithm (CVE-2008-1678).
</li>
<li>
Ryujiro Shibuya reported that the ap_proxy_http_process_response()
function in the mod_proxy module does not limit the number of forwarded
interim responses (CVE-2008-2364).
</li>
<li>
sp3x of SecurityReason reported a Cross-Site Request Forgery
vulnerability in the balancer-manager in the mod_proxy_balancer module
(CVE-2007-6420).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by connecting to
an Apache httpd, by causing an Apache proxy server to connect to a
malicious server, or by enticing a balancer administrator to connect to
a specially-crafted URL, resulting in a Denial of Service of the Apache
daemon.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-servers/apache-2.2.9&quot;</code>
</resolution>
