SCO Security Advisory
Subject: Linux: apache vulnerabilities in shared memory, DNS, and ApacheBench
Advisory number: CSSA-2002-056.0
Issue date: 2002 December 05
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
The shared memory scoreboard in the HTTP daemon for Apache
allows any user running as the Apache UID to send a SIGUSR1
signal to any process as root, resulting in a denial of
service (process kill) or possibly other behaviors that would
not normally be allowed, by modifying the parent[].pid and
parent[].last_rtime segments in the scoreboard.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the default error
page of Apache when UseCanonicalName is "Off" and support for
wildcard DNS is present, allows remote attackers to execute
script as other web page visitors via the Host: header.
Buffer overflows in the ApacheBench support program (ab.c) in
Apache allow a malicious web server to cause a denial of
service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long
response.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
