    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1834-2 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Stefan Fritsch
    July 31, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : apache2
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-1890 CVE-2009-1891

    The previous update caused a regression for apache2 in Debian 4.0
    "etch". Using mod_deflate together with mod_php could cause segfaults
    when a client aborts a connection. This update corrects this flaw.
    For reference the original advisory text is below.


    A denial of service flaw was found in the Apache mod_proxy module when
    it was used as a reverse proxy. A remote attacker could use this flaw
    to force a proxy process to consume large amounts of CPU time. This
    issue did not affect Debian 4.0 "etch". (CVE-2009-1890)

    A denial of service flaw was found in the Apache mod_deflate module.
    This module continued to compress large files until compression was
    complete, even if the network connection that requested the content
    was closed before compression completed. This would cause mod_deflate
    to consume large amounts of CPU if mod_deflate was enabled for a large
    file. A similar flaw related to HEAD requests for compressed content
    was also fixed. (CVE-2009-1891)


    The oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.2.3-4+etch10.

    The other distributions stable (lenny), testing (squeeze) and
    unstable (sid) were not affected by the regression.

    This advisory also provides updated apache2-mpm-itk packages which
    have been recompiled against the new apache2 packages.

    Updated packages for apache2-mpm-itk for the s390 architecture are
    not included yet. They will be released as soon as they become
    available.

    We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 (2.2.3-4+etch10), apache2-mpm-itk (2.2.3-01-2+etch4) package.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
