Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: apache security update for Stronghold

Notes

Topic
The Apache Web server contains a security vulnerability which can be used to launch a denial of service attack, or in some cases, allow remote code execution.
Details
Versions of the Apache Web server up to and including 1.3.24 contain a bug in the routines which deal with "chunked" encoded requests. A carefully crafted invalid request can cause an Apache child process to call the memcpy() function in a way that will write past the end of its buffer, corrupting the stack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0392 to this issue. Due to the nature of the overflow on 32-bit Unix platforms, this will most likely cause a segmentation violation, and the child will terminate. However, on some 64-bit and 32-bit platforms, an additional exploit may be possible. On these platforms, the overflow could allow arbitrary code to be run on the server, with the code running as the user under which the Apache child processes are set to run. All users of Stronghold are advised to upgrade to this errata release.

Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.",
