Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS : Apache HTTP Server regression (USN-5487-3)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 162515

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5487-3 advisory.

 USN-5487-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server. Unfortunately it caused regressions.
 USN-5487-2 reverted the patches that caused the regression in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM for further investigation.
 This update re-adds the security fixes for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and fixes two different regressions: one affecting mod_proxy only in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and another in mod_sed affecting also Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

 We apologize for the inconvenience.



Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
