Description Tobias Weisserth 2004-03-30 13:52:37 UTC
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.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




Only the remaining 1.3.27 ebuilds of Apache seem to be affected, but I couldn't
find any reference whether this has already been fixed in those older ebuilds
(no GLSA or bugs in Bugzilla). I filed this bug since older versions are not
masked but could be affected and there are probably a dozen reasons for some
users to use an older version for a specific reason (for example a specific
plugin, like OpenGroupware). I suggest we mask those ebuilds or remove them.

However, I couldn't verify if later versions than 2.0.45 might be affected. Anybody?

regards,
Tobias W.
