Apache 2.0.x < 2.0.64 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 50069

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Apache 2.0.x running on the remote host is prior to 2.0.64. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An unspecified error exists in the handling of requests without a path segment. (CVE-2010-1452)

- Several modules, including 'mod_deflate', are vulnerable to a denial of service attack as the server can be forced to utilize CPU time compressing a large file after client disconnect. (CVE-2009-1891)

- An unspecified error exists in 'mod_proxy' related to filtration of authentication credentials. (CVE-2009-3095)
- A NULL pointer dereference issue exists in 'mod_proxy_ftp' in some error handling paths.
(CVE-2009-3094)

- An error exists in 'mod_ssl' making the server vulnerable to the TLC renegotiation prefix injection attack. (CVE-2009-3555)

- An error exists in the handling of subrequests such that the parent request headers may be corrupted.
(CVE-2010-0434)

- An error exists in 'mod_proxy_http' when handling excessive interim responses making it vulnerable to a denial of service attack. (CVE-2008-2364)

- An error exists in 'mod_isapi' that allows the module to be unloaded too early, which leaves orphaned callback pointers. (CVE-2010-0425)

- An error exists in 'mod_proxy_ftp' when wildcards are in an FTP URL, which allows for cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2008-2939)

Note that the remote web server may not actually be affected by these vulnerabilities. Nessus did not try to determine whether the affected modules are in use or to check for the issues themselves.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache version 2.0.64 or later. Alternatively, ensure that the affected modules are not in use.
