Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-01-27 20:58:46 UTC
From secunia security advisory at $URL:

Description:
1) An error when handling the "%{cookiename}C" log format string when using a threaded MPM can be exploited to cause a crash by sending a specially crafted cookie.

This vulnerability is reported in versions 2.2.17, 2.2.18, 2.219, 2.2.20, and 2.2.21.

2) An error within the default error response for status code 400 when no custom ErrorDocument is configured can be exploited to expose "httpOnly" cookies.

This vulnerability is reported in versions 2.2.0, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.8, 2.2.9, 2.2.10, 2.2.11, 2.2.12, 2.2.13, 2.2.14, 2.2.15, 2.2.16, 2.2.17, 2.2.18, 2.2.19, 2.2.20, and 2.2.21.

CVE-2012-0053 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-0053):
  protocol.c in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x through 2.2.21 does not properly
  restrict header information during construction of Bad Request (aka 400)
  error documents, which allows remote attackers to obtain the values of
  HTTPOnly cookies via vectors involving a (1) long or (2) malformed header in
  conjunction with crafted web script.

CVE-2012-0031 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-0031):
  scoreboard.c in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.21 and earlier might allow local
  users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash during shutdown) or
  possibly have unspecified other impact by modifying a certain type field
  within a scoreboard shared memory segment, leading to an invalid call to the
  free function.

CVE-2012-0021 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-0021):
  The log_cookie function in mod_log_config.c in the mod_log_config module in
  the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.17 through 2.2.21, when a threaded MPM is used,
  does not properly handle a %{}C format string, which allows remote attackers
  to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a cookie that lacks both a
  name and a value.
