TITLE

Hitachi Web Server Reverse Proxy Denial of Service (DoS) Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The ap_proxy_http_process_response function in mod_proxy_http.c in the mod_proxy module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.0.63 and 2.2.8 does not limit the number of forwarded interim responses, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of interim responses. Hitachi Web Server contains a vulnerability that could lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition when using it as a reverse proxy due to excessive memory usage.The server could fall into a denial of service (DoS) state when continuously receiving fraudulent responses from backend Web servers. (DoS) Vulnerabilities exist.Denial of service due to response sent in large quantities by third parties (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Attackers may exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions. Reportedly, the issue affects Apache 2.2.8 and 2.0.63; other versions may also be affected. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SUPPORT COMMUNICATION - SECURITY BULLETIN Document ID: c01650939 Version: 1 HPSBUX02401 SSRT090005 rev.1 - HP-UX Running Apache Web Server Suite, Remote Denial of Service (DoS), Cross-site Scripting (XSS), Execution of Arbitrary Code, Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible.

Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-servers/apache < 2.2.9 >= 2.2.9 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache: * Dustin Kirkland reported that the mod_ssl module can leak memory when the client reports support for a compression algorithm (CVE-2008-1678). * sp3x of SecurityReason reported a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability in the balancer-manager in the mod_proxy_balancer module (CVE-2007-6420). Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by connecting to an Apache httpd, by causing an Apache proxy server to connect to a malicious server, or by enticing a balancer administrator to connect to a specially-crafted URL, resulting in a Denial of Service of the Apache daemon. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/apache-2.2.9" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-6420 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6420 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-1678 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1678 [ 3 ] CVE-2008-2364 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2364 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200807-06.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
