A vulnerability has been found in the Apache HTTPD Server:

  • CVE-2012-4557
    A flaw was found when mod_proxy_ajp connects to a backend
    server that takes too long to respond. Given a specific
    configuration, a remote attacker could send certain requests,
    putting a backend server into an error state until the retry
    timeout expired. This could lead to a temporary denial of
    service.

In addition, this update also adds a server side mitigation for the
following issue:

  • CVE-2012-4929
    If using SSL/TLS data compression with HTTPS in an connection
    to a web browser, man-in-the-middle attackers may obtain
    plaintext HTTP headers. This issue is known as the CRIME
    attack. This update of apache2 disables SSL compression by
    default. A new SSLCompression directive has been backported
    that may be used to re-enable SSL data compression in
    environments where the CRIME attack is not an issue.
    For more information, please refer to the SSLCompression
    Directive documentation
    .

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.2.16-6+squeeze10.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.2.22-12.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.2.22-12.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
