Debian DSA-3278-1 : libapache-mod-jk - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 83980

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

An information disclosure flaw due to incorrect JkMount/JkUnmount directives processing was found in the Apache 2 module mod_jk to forward requests from the Apache web server to Tomcat. A JkUnmount rule for a subtree of a previous JkMount rule could be ignored. This could allow a remote attacker to potentially access a private artifact in a tree that would otherwise not be accessible to them.

Solution

Upgrade the libapache-mod-jk packages.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.37-1+deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.37-4+deb8u1.
