| <p> |
| The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the |
| internet. mod_include is an Apache module to handle Server Side Includes |
| (SSI). |
| </p> |
| </background> |
| <description> |
| <p> |
| A possible buffer overflow exists in the get_tag() function of |
| mod_include.c. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| If Server Side Includes (SSI) are enabled, a local attacker may be able to |
| run arbitrary code with the rights of an httpd child process by making use |
| of a specially-crafted document with malformed SSI. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/apache-1.3.32-r1"</code> |
