<a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3747">http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/c
vename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3747</a>
mod_ssl in Apache 2.0 up to 2.0.55, when configured with an SSL vhost
with access control and a custom error 400 error page, allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a
non-SSL request to an SSL port, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
More details are available at
<a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3357">http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/c
vename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3357</a>
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the mod_imap module of Apache
httpd before 1.3.35-dev and Apache httpd 2.0.x before 2.0.56-dev allows
remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the Referer
when using image maps.
More details are available at

This release of HP-UX Apache-based Server is primarily a security and
bug fix release.
- The following security vulnerabilities have been fixed in this release.
The RFC1867 file upload feature in PHP 4.x up to 4.4.0 and 5.x up to 5.0.5,
when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to modify
the GLOBALS array and bypass security protections of PHP applications via
a multipart/form-data POST request with a "GLOBALS" fileupload field.
More details are available at
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3390
The SSL/TLS server implementation in OpenSSL 0.9.7 before 0.9.7h
and 0.9.8 before 0.9.8a, when using the SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
option, disables a verification step that is required for preventing
protocol version rollback attacks, which allows remote attackers to force
a client and server to use a weaker protocol than needed via a man-in-the-middle
attack.
More details are available at
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2969

This release of HP-UX Apache-based Web Server is primarily a security and
bug fix release.
- Apache upgraded to 2.0.55
The following security vulnerabilities have been fixed in this release.
Integer overflow in pcre_compile.c in Perl Compatible Regular Expressions
(PCRE) before 6.2, as used in multiple products such as Python, allows
attackers to execute arbitrary code via quantifier values in regular
expressions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.
More details are available at
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2491
Off-by-one error in the mod_ssl Certificate Revocation List (CRL)
verification callback in Apache, when configured to use a CRL, allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (child process crash) via
a CRL that causes a buffer overflow of one null byte.
More details are available at
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-1268
The byte-range filter in Apache 2.0 before 2.0.54 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via an HTTP header with
a large Range field.
More details are available at
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2728
Apache 2.0.45 and 1.3.29, when acting as an HTTP proxy, allows remote
attackers to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection,
and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
header and a Content-Length header, which causes Apache to incorrectly handle
and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server
to process it as a separate HTTP request, aka "HTTP Request Smuggling."
More details are available at
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2088
- Bug Fixes
Added support for Nested mutexes.
To enable C++ modules, the following 3 lines must be added to the httpd.conf

- Apache upgraded to 2.0.54.02
This release of HP-UX Apache-based Web Server is a bug fix release.
mod_ssl in Apache webserver 2.0.54.00 and earlier, when using
"SSLVerifyClient optional" in the global virtual host configuration,
does not properly enforce "SSLVerifyClient require" in a per-location
context, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access
restrictions.

Tool.
More details are available at
http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0786
Buffer overflow in Apache 2.0.50 and earlier allows local users to gain

More details are available at
http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0747
The char_buffer_read function in the mod_ssl module for Apache 2.x, when
using reverse proxying to an SSL server, allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (segmentation fault).
More details are available at
http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0751
mod_ssl in Apache 2.0.50 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a

that causes an Apache child process to enter an infinite loop.
More details are available at
http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0748
The mod_dav module in Apache 2.0.50 and earlier allows remote attackers to

- PHP upgraded to 4.3.8
The memory_limit functionality, under certain conditions such as when
register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code by triggering a memory_limit abort during execution of the
zend_hash_init function and overwriting a HashTable destructor pointer
before the initialization of key data structures is complete. [CAN-2004-0594]
More details are available at
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0594
The strip_tags function, does not filter null (\0) characters within tag
names when restricting input to allowed tags, which allows dangerous tags
to be processed by web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Safari, which
ignore null characters and facilitate the exploitation of cross-site
scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. [CAN-2004-0595]
More details are available at
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0595
