Updated apache package fixes security vulnerabilities
Publication date: 27 Jul 2015Modification date: 27 Jul 2015
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 4 , 5
CVE: CVE-2015-3183 , CVE-2015-3185
Description
The chunked transfer coding implementation in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.14 does not properly parse chunk headers, which allows remote attackers to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks via a crafted request, related to mishandling of large chunk-size values and invalid chunk-extension characters in modules/http/http_filters.c (CVE-2015-3183). The ap_some_auth_required function in server/request.c in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x before 2.4.14 does not consider that a Require directive may be associated with an authorization setting rather than an authentication setting, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging the presence of a module that relies on the 2.2 API behavior (CVE-2015-3185).
