Synopsis:          Moderate: httpd security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2014:0369-1
Issue Date:        2014-04-03
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-6438
                   CVE-2014-0098
--

It was found that the mod_dav module did not correctly strip leading white
space from certain elements in a parsed XML. In certain httpd
configurations that use the mod_dav module (for example when using the
mod_dav_svn module), a remote attacker could send a specially crafted DAV
request that would cause the httpd child process to crash or, possibly,
allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
"apache" user. (CVE-2013-6438)

A buffer over-read flaw was found in the httpd mod_log_config module. In
configurations where cookie logging is enabled (on Scientific Linux it is
disabled by default), a remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the
httpd child process via an HTTP request with a malformed cookie header.
(CVE-2014-0098)

After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted
automatically.
