Multiple vulnerabilities in Apache might lead to a Denial of Service.
Package | www-servers/apache on all architectures |
---|---|
Affected versions | < 2.2.9 |
Unaffected versions | >= 2.2.9 |
The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the Internet.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache:
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by connecting to an Apache httpd, by causing an Apache proxy server to connect to a malicious server, or by enticing a balancer administrator to connect to a specially-crafted URL, resulting in a Denial of Service of the Apache daemon.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/apache-2.2.9"
