    The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
    Internet.

  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been discovered in
    mod_status and mod_autoindex (CVE-2006-5752, CVE-2007-4465). An error
    has been discovered in the recall_headers() function in mod_mem_cache
    (CVE-2007-1862). The mod_cache module does not properly sanitize
    requests before processing them (CVE-2007-1863). The Prefork module
    does not properly check PID values before sending signals
    (CVE-2007-3304). The mod_proxy module does not correctly check headers
    before processing them (CVE-2007-3847).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit one of these vulnerabilities to inject
    arbitrary script or HTML content, obtain sensitive information or cause
    a Denial of Service.
    </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-2.0.59-r5&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
