Debian DSA-1000-2 : libapreq2-perl - design error

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22542

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Gunnar Wolf noticed that the correction for the following problem was not complete and requires an update. For completeness we're providing the original problem description :

An algorithm weakness has been discovered in Apache2::Request, the generic request library for Apache2 which can be exploited remotely and cause a denial of service via CPU consumption.

Solution

Upgrade the libapreq2, libapache2-mod-apreq2 and libapache2-request-perl packages.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain this package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.04-dev-1sarge2.
