    <p>
    The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
    Internet. mod_imap provides support for server-side image maps; mod_ssl
    provides secure HTTP connections.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    Apache's mod_imap fails to properly sanitize the "Referer" directive of
    imagemaps in some cases, leaving the HTTP Referer header unescaped. A
    flaw in mod_ssl can lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the site uses
    a custom "Error 400" document. These vulnerabilities were reported by
    Marc Cox and Hartmut Keil, respectively.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit mod_imap to inject arbitrary HTML or
    JavaScript into a user's browser to gather sensitive information.
    Attackers could also cause a Denial of Service on hosts using the SSL
    module (Apache 2.0.x only).
    </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, depending on
    whether they still use the old configuration style
    (/etc/apache/conf/*.conf) or the new one (/etc/apache2/httpd.conf).
    </p>
    <p>
    2.0.x users, new style config:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-servers/apache-2.0.55-r1&quot;</code>
    <p>
    2.0.x users, old style config:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;=www-servers/apache-2.0.54-r16&quot;</code>
    <p>
    1.x users, new style config:

    <code>
    # emerge --sync
