Synopsis: Moderate: httpd security and bug fix update Issue date: 2010-08-30 CVE Names: CVE-2010-1452 CVE-2010-2791 A flaw was discovered in the way the mod_proxy module of the Apache HTTP Server handled the timeouts of requests forwarded by a reverse proxy to the back-end server. If the proxy was configured to reuse existing back-end connections, it could return a response intended for another user under certain timeout conditions, possibly leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2010-2791) A flaw was found in the way the mod_dav module of the Apache HTTP Server handled certain requests. If a remote attacker were to send a carefully crafted request to the server, it could cause the httpd child process to crash. (CVE-2010-1452) This update also fixes the following bugs: * numerous issues in the INFLATE filter provided by mod_deflate. "Inflate error -5 on flush" errors may have been logged. This update upgrades mod_deflate to the newer upstream version from Apache HTTP Server 2.2.15. (BZ#625435) * the response would be corrupted if mod_filter applied the DEFLATE filter to a resource requiring a subrequest with an internal redirect. (BZ#625451) * the OID() function used in the mod_ssl "SSLRequire" directive did not correctly evaluate extensions of an unknown type. (BZ#625452) After installing the updatedpackages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the update to take effect.
