Debian Security Advisory DSA-067-1 security@debian.org
Debian -- Security Information Robert van der Meulen
July 28, 2001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : apache,apache-ssl
Problem type : remote exploit
Debian-specific : no
We have received reports that the 'apache' http daemon, as included in
the Debian 'stable' distribution, is vulnerable to the 'artificially
long slash path directory listing vulnerability' as described in
.
This vulnerability was announced to bugtraq by Dan Harkless.
Quoting the SecurityFocus entry for this vulnerability:
A problem in the package could allow directory indexing, and path
discovery. In a default configuration, Apache enables mod_dir,
mod_autoindex, and mod_negotiation. However, by placing a custom crafted
request to the Apache server consisting of a long path name created
artificially by using numerous slashes, this can cause these modules to
misbehave, making it possible to escape the error page, and gain a listing
of the directory contents.
This vulnerability makes it possible for a malicious remote user to launch
an information gathering attack, which could potentially result in
compromise of the system. Additionally, this vulnerability affects all
releases of Apache previous to 1.3.19.
This problem has been fixed in apache-ssl 1.3.9-13.3 and apache_1.3.9-14.
We recommend that you upgrade your packages immediately.
