                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           apache
Date:                   November 28th, 2001
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2001:077-2

Affected versions:      Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A problem exists with all Apache servers prior to version 1.3.19.  The
 vulnerablity could allow directory indexing and path discovery on the
 vulnerable servers with a custom crafted request consisting of a long
 path name created artificially by using numerous slashes.  This can
 cause modules to misbehave and return a listing of the directory
 contents by avoiding the error page.

 Another vulnerability found by Procheckup (www.procheckup.com) was
 that all directories, by default, were configured as browseable so
 an attacker could list all files in the targeted directories.  As
 well, Procheckup found that the perl-proxy/management software on
 port 8200 would supply dangerous information to attackers due to
 a perl status script that was enabled.  We have disabled directory
 browsing by default and have disabled the perl status scripts.

 There are a few steps required to update Apache properly for Single
 Network Firewall 7.2.  Please also note that you should not use the
 automatic update facilities of the web interface to update Apache,
 but should do this either locally or via ssh.

  1) Stop apache (service httpd stop) if running
  2) Stop httpd-naat (service httpd-naat stop)
  3) Completely backup /etc/httpd/conf/*
  4) Backup /var/log/httpd and /var/log/httpd-naat (the uninstall
     scripts of the previous apache versions may remove the log files)
  5) Remove the currently installed apache, mod_perl, mod_ssl, and php
     packages from the system.  You can do this using:

       urpme apache-common

  6) Upgrade mm/mm-devel
  7) Install the download upgrade packages of apache components using 
     "rpm -ivh *.rpm"
  8) Restore your /var/log/httpd and /var/log/httpd-naat backups
  9) Start httpd-naat (service httpd-naat start)
 10) Start apache if you were previously using it (service httpd start)

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:

  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.

Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Mandrake Linux 8.0, look for it in "updates/8.0/RPMS/".  Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
