    Package : apache2
    Vulnerability : multiple issues
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-3607 CVE-2011-3368 CVE-2011-3639 CVE-2011-4317
    CVE-2012-0031 CVE-2012-0053

    Several vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache HTTPD Server:

    CVE-2011-3607:

    An integer overflow in ap_pregsub() could allow local attackers to
    execute arbitrary code at elevated privileges via crafted .htaccess
    files.

    CVE-2011-3368 CVE-2011-3639 CVE-2011-4317:

    The Apache HTTP Server did not properly validate the request URI for
    proxied requests. In certain reverse proxy configurations using the
    ProxyPassMatch directive or using the RewriteRule directive with the
    [P] flag, a remote attacker could make the proxy connect to an
    arbitrary server. The could allow the attacker to access internal
    servers that are not otherwise accessible from the outside.

    The three CVE ids denote slightly different variants of the same
    issue.

    Note that, even with this issue fixed, it is the responsibility of
    the administrator to ensure that the regular expression replacement
    pattern for the target URI does not allow a client to append arbitrary
    strings to the host or port parts of the target URI. For example, the
    configuration

    ProxyPassMatch ^/mail(.*) http://internal-host$1

    is still insecure and should be replaced by one of the following
    configurations:

    ProxyPassMatch ^/mail(/.*) http://internal-host$1
    ProxyPassMatch ^/mail/(.*) http://internal-host/$1

    CVE-2012-0031:

    An apache2 child process could cause the parent process to crash
    during shutdown. This is a violation of the privilege separation
    between the apache2 processes and could potentially be used to worsen
    the impact of other vulnerabilities.

    CVE-2012-0053:

    The response message for error code 400 (bad request) could be used to
    expose "httpOnly" cookies. This could allow a remote attacker using
    cross site scripting to steal authentication cookies.


    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version apache2 2.2.9-10+lenny12.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version apache2 2.2.16-6+squeeze6

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed in
    version 2.2.22-1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.2.22-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.

    This update also contains updated apache2-mpm-itk packages which have
    been recompiled against the updated apache2 packages. The new version
    number for the oldstable distribution is 2.2.6-02-1+lenny7. In the
    stable distribution, apache2-mpm-itk has the same version number as
    apache2.
