Does anyone know if this effects potato's apache-ssl package also?

Is anyone able to confirm this?

Package: apache
Problem type   : remote DoS / exploit
Debian-specific: no
CVE name   : CAN-2002-0392
CERT advisory  : VU#944335

Mark Litchfield found a denial of service attack in the Apache
web-server. While investigating the problem the Apache Software
Foundation discovered that the code for handling invalid requests which
use chunked encoding also might allow arbitrary code execution on 64
bit architectures.

This has been fixed in version 1.3.9-14.1 of the Debian apache package,
as well as upstream versions 1.3.16 and 2.0.37. We strongly recommend
that you upgrade your apache package immediately.

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.


Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato

  Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.

I believe if you read the debian-devel recent archivessomeone already has.

I hope to have a security advisory done by the end of today.

It indeed doesn't.

Re: Are current Apache debs affected by new bug?

2002-06-18 Thread Loren Jordan
According to the notice on Apache's web site, this is an exploit for a 
denial of service but not a way to run bogus commands on the exploited 
machine (for 32 bit machines).


Has anybody verified this?  Is there any time frame for us to expect an 
updated apache.deb on security.d.o?



The notice from iss.net shows a 1 line patch to the http_protocol.c file, 
but a previous message in this thread says it might not/doesn't fix the 
problem.


Is this where the fix needs to be?  I would be happy to get that snippet 
from cvs and whip up my own apache.deb until there is an official security 
release.


Thanks for any info.
Loren

Yes, it's not fixed yet.
