The remote host is missing an update for the 'httpd' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. The httpd packages contain the Apache HTTP Server (httpd), which is the namesake project of The Apache Software Foundation. An input sanitization flaw was found in the mod_negotiation Apache HTTP Server module. A remote attacker able to upload or create files with arbitrary names in a directory that has the MultiViews options enabled, could use this flaw to conduct cross-site scripting attacks against users visiting the site. It was discovered that mod_proxy_ajp, when used in configurations with mod_proxy in load balancer mode, would mark a back-end server as failed when request processing timed out, even when a previous AJP (Apache JServ Protocol) CPing request was responded to by the back-end. A remote attacker able to make a back-end use an excessive amount of time to process a request could cause mod_proxy to not send requests to back-end AJP servers for the retry timeout period or until all back-end servers were marked as failed. These updated httpd packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted automatically

  Server module. A remote attacker able to upload or create files with

  could use this flaw to conduct cross-site scripting attacks against users

  It was discovered that mod_proxy_ajp, when used in configurations with
  mod_proxy in load balancer mode, would mark a back-end server as failed

  These updated httpd packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
  Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users
  are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 Technical Notes, linked
  to in the References, for information on the most significant of these
  changes.

  All users of httpd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
  contain backported patches to correct these issues and add these
  enhancements. After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will
  be restarted automatically.");
