"According to David Wagner, iDEFENSE and the Apache HTTP Server
Project, several vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache server
package, a commonly used webserver. Most of the code is shared between
the Apache and Apache-Perl packages, so vulnerabilities are shared as
well.

These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to enact a denial of
service against a server or execute a cross site scripting attack, or
steal cookies from other website users. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures (CVE) project identified the following vulnerabilities :

  - CAN-2002-0839: A vulnerability exists on platforms using
    System V shared memory based scoreboards. This
    vulnerability allows an attacker to execute code under
    the Apache UID to exploit the Apache shared memory
    scoreboard format and send a signal to any process as
    root or cause a local denial of service attack.
  - CAN-2002-0840: Apache is susceptible to a cross site
    scripting vulnerability in the default 404 page of any
    web server hosted on a domain that allows wildcard DNS
    lookups.

  - CAN-2002-0843: There were some possible overflows in the
    utility ApacheBench (ab) which could be exploited by a
    malicious server. No such binary programs are
    distributed by the Apache-Perl package, though.

  - CAN-2002-1233: A race condition in the htpasswd and
    htdigest program enables a malicious local user to read
    or even modify the contents of a password file or easily
    create and overwrite files as the user running the
    htpasswd (or htdigest respectively) program. No such
    binary programs are distributed by the Apache-Perl
    package, though.

  - CAN-2001-0131: htpasswd and htdigest in Apache 2.0a9,
    1.3.14, and others allows local users to overwrite
    arbitrary files via a symlink attack. No such binary
    programs are distributed by the Apache-Perl package,
    though.

  - NO-CAN: Several buffer overflows have been found in the
    ApacheBench (ab) utility that could be exploited by a
    remote server returning very long strings. No such
    binary programs are distributed by the Apache-Perl
    package, though.

These problems have been fixed in version 1.3.26-1-1.26-0woody2 for
the current stable distribution (woody), in
1.3.9-14.1-1.21.20000309-1.1 for the old stable distribution (potato)
and in version 1.3.26-1.1-1.27-3-1 for the unstable distribution
(sid)."
