                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           apache2
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:075
Date:                   July 21st, 2003

Affected versions:	9.1

Problem Description:

 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Apache 2.x versions prior to
 2.0.47.  From the Apache 2.0.47 release notes:
 
 Certain sequences of per-directory renegotiations and the
 SSLCipherSuite directive being used to upgrade from a weak ciphersuite
 to a strong one could result in the weak ciphersuite being used in
 place of the new one (CAN-2003-0192).
 
 Certain errors returned by accept() on rarely accessed ports could
 cause temporary Denial of Service due to a bug in the prefork MPM
 (CAN-2003-0253).
 
 Denial of Service was caused when target host is IPv6 but FTP proxy
 server can't create IPv6 socket (CAN-2003-0254).
 
 The server would crash when going into an infinite loop due to too many
 subsequent internal redirects and nested subrequests (VU#379828).
 
 The Apache Software Foundation thanks Saheed Akhtar and Yoshioka Tsuneo
 for responsibly reporting these issues.
 
 To upgrade these apache packages, first stop Apache by issuing, as
 root:
 
   service httpd stop
 
 After the upgrade, restart Apache with:
 
   service httpd start
