RHSA-2003:139: Updated httpd packages fix security vulnerabilities.
Description
Updated httpd packages which fix a number of security issues are now available for Red Hat Linux 8.0 and 9.
The Apache HTTP Web Server is a secure, efficient, and extensible Web server that provides HTTP services. A memory leak in Apache 2.0 through 2.0.44 allows remote attackers to cause a significant denial of service (DoS) by sending requests containing lots of linefeed characters. Apache 2.0 does not filter terminal escape sequences from its access logs, which could make it easier for attackers to insert those sequences into terminal emulators containing vulnerabilities related to escape sequences. Apache does not filter terminal escape sequences from its error logs, which could make it easier for attackers to insert those sequences into terminal emulators containing vulnerabilities related to escape sequences. All users of the Apache HTTP Web Server are advised to upgrade to the applicable errata packages containing back-ported fixes applied to Apache version 2.0.40. After the errata packages are installed, restart the Web service by running the following command: /sbin/service httpd restart
