  <title>Apache 2, mod_dav: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    Several vulnerabilities have been found in Apache 2 and mod_dav for Apache
    1.3 which could allow a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service or a
    local user to get escalated privileges.

    <p>
    The Apache HTTP server is one of most popular web servers on the internet.
    mod_ssl provides SSL v2/v3 and TLS v1 support for it and mod_dav is the
    Apache module for Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV).

  <description>
    <p>
    A potential infinite loop has been found in the input filter of mod_ssl
    (CAN-2004-0748) as well as a possible segmentation fault in the
    char_buffer_read function if reverse proxying to a SSL server is being used
    (CAN-2004-0751). Furthermore, mod_dav, as shipped in Apache httpd 2 or
    mod_dav 1.0.x for Apache 1.3, contains a NULL pointer dereference which can
    be triggered remotely (CAN-2004-0809). The third issue is an input
    validation error found in the IPv6 URI parsing routines within the apr-util
    library (CAN-2004-0786). Additionally a possible buffer overflow has been
    reported when expanding environment variables during the parsing of
    configuration files (CAN-2004-0747).

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service either by aborting a SSL
    connection in a special way, resulting in CPU consumption, by exploiting
    the segmentation fault in mod_ssl or the mod_dav flaw. A remote attacker
    could also crash a httpd child process by sending a specially crafted URI.
    The last vulnerabilty could be used by a local user to gain the privileges
    of a httpd child, if the server parses a carefully prepared .htaccess file.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Apache 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=www-servers/apache-2.0.51"
    # emerge ">=www-servers/apache-2.0.51"</code>
    <p>
    All mod_dav users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=net-www/mod_dav-1.0.3-r2"
    # emerge ">=net-www/mod_dav-1.0.3-r2"</code>
  </resolution>
