Security update for Apache
SUSE Security Update: Security update for Apache
Apache2 has been updated to fix multiple security issues:
*
CVE-2012-4557: Denial of Service via special requests
in mod_proxy_ajp
*
CVE-2012-0883: improper LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling
*
CVE-2012-2687: filename escaping problem
*
CVE-2012-4558: Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS)
vulnerabilities in the balancer_handler function in the
manager interface in mod_proxy_balancer.c in the
mod_proxy_balancer module in the Apache HTTP Server
potentially allowed remote attackers to inject arbitrary
web script or HTML via a crafted string.
*
CVE-2012-3499: Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS)
vulnerabilities in the Apache HTTP Server allowed remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via
vectors involving hostnames and URIs in the (1)
mod_imagemap, (2) mod_info, (3) mod_ldap, (4)
mod_proxy_ftp, and (5) mod_status modules.
Additionally, some non-security bugs have been fixed:
*
ignore case when checking against SNI server names.

*
httpd-2.2.x-CVE-2011-3368_CVE-2011-4317-bnc722545.diff rewor
ked to reflect the upstream changes. This will prevent the
"Invalid URI in request OPTIONS *" messages in the error
log. [bnc#722545]

APACHE_DISABLE_SSL_COMPRESSION; if set to on,
