Synopsis:	Moderate: httpd security update
Issue date:	2008-01-15
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-3847 CVE-2007-4465 CVE-2007-5000
                 CVE-2007-6388 CVE-2007-6421 CVE-2007-6422
                 CVE-2008-0005

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy module. On sites where a reverse proxy is
configured, a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted request that
would cause the Apache child process handling that request to crash. On
sites where a forward proxy is configured, an attacker could cause a
similar crash if a user could be persuaded to visit a malicious site using
the proxy. This could lead to a denial of service if using a threaded
Multi-Processing Module. (CVE-2007-3847)

A flaw was found in the mod_autoindex module. On sites where directory
listings are used, and the "AddDefaultCharset" directive has been removed
from the configuration, a cross-site scripting attack might have been
possible against Web browsers which do not correctly derive the response
character set following the rules in RFC 2616. (CVE-2007-4465)

A flaw was found in the mod_imagemap module. On sites where mod_imagemap
was enabled and an imagemap file was publicly available, a cross-site
scripting attack was possible. (CVE-2007-5000)

A flaw was found in the mod_status module. On sites where mod_status was
enabled and the status pages were publicly available, a cross-site
scripting attack was possible. (CVE-2007-6388)

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_balancer module. On sites where
mod_proxy_balancer was enabled, a cross-site scripting attack against an
authorized user was possible. (CVE-2007-6421)

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_balancer module. On sites where
mod_proxy_balancer was enabled, an authorized user could send a carefully
crafted request that would cause the Apache child process handling that
request to crash. This could lead to a denial of service if using a
threaded Multi-Processing Module. (CVE-2007-6422)

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_ftp module. On sites where mod_proxy_ftp
was enabled and a forward proxy was configured, a cross-site scripting
attack was possible against Web browsers which do not correctly derive the
response character set following the rules in RFC 2616. (CVE-2008-0005)
