Bugzilla Bug 32271

New ebuild needed for apache-2.0.48. Here's the link to the new announced
release of 2.0.48:

http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.html

A couple of security vulnerability fixes and bunch of bug fixes.

I will add this tonight.

Stu -- if I add 2.0.48 un-arch-masked into the tree, then we'll be on
the new --datadir from here on.  That's ok with you you?

I would prefer Apache related bugs to be assigned to the Apache
web-apps herd.  If its security related, add security@g.o to the
CC list.

Needless to say I didnt check it in yet, but do have it finished over here
and will commit tomorrow; got sidetracked by a segfaulting mod_php.

Donny - that's okay with me.

Stu

Donny,

Please reassign back to security@ and change "Product:" to "Gentoo GLSA"
when we are all good to go..

Thanks

This is a real song and dance we have going on here.

2.0.48 is 'x86' and in-the-tree.

apache init patch

bah -- the above patch fixes a bug with the init script that causes apache
to fail to start with the following error:

env: start-stop-daemon: No such file or directory                     [!!]

marking as blocker.

Oops, yes you're right; fixed.

Donny,

I just did a cvs update and noticed that it's not quite right yet.

env -i /sbin/start-stop-daemon
should be
env -i PATH=$PATH /sbin/start-stop-daemon

Is it really broken?  Please update it if you wish, but its "workingforme".

please add

--retry 5 

like in mysql:
start-stop-daemon --stop --retry 5 --quiet

just fixed the init scripts (with solar's PATH=$PATH) in cvs.

to-do in comment #12 moved to bug #32366.

GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200310-04

          PACKAGE : net-www/apache
          SUMMARY : buffer overflow
             DATE : Fri Oct 31 07:59:00 UTC 2003
          EXPLOIT : local
VERSIONS AFFECTED : <apache-2.0.48
    FIXED VERSION : >=apache-2.0.48
       GENTOO BUG : http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32271
              CVE : CAN-2003-0789 CAN-2003-0542

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote from <http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.html>:

    This version of Apache is principally a bug fix release. A summary of
    the bug fixes is given at the end of this document. Of particular note
    is that 2.0.48 addresses two security vulnerabilities:

    mod_cgid mishandling of CGI redirect paths could result in CGI output
    going to the wrong client when a threaded MPM is used.
    [CAN-2003-0789]
    
    A buffer overflow could occur in mod_alias and mod_rewrite when a
    regular expression with more than 9 captures is configured.
    [CAN-2003-0542]
    
    This release is compatible with modules compiled for 2.0.42 and later
    versions. We consider this release to be the best version of Apache
    available and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.


SOLUTION

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-misc/apache 2.x upgrade:

emerge sync
emerge '>=net-www/apache-2.0.48'
emerge clean

Please remember to update your config files in /etc/apache2
as --datadir has been changed to /var/www/localhost.

Note that a forthcoming GLSA-200310-03 will address similar issues
in Apache 1.x.
