+ <title>Apache: Buffer overflow in mod_ssl</title>

+ A bug in mod_ssl may allow a remote attacker to execute remote code when
+ Apache is configured a certain way.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Apache is the most popular Web server on the Internet. mod_ssl provides
+ Secure Sockets Layer encryption and authentication to Apache 1.3. Apache 2
+ contains the functionality of mod_ssl.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A bug in the function ssl_util_uuencode_binary in ssl_util.c may lead to a
+ remote buffer overflow on a server configured to use FakeBasicAuth that
+ will trust a client certificate with an issuing CA with a subject DN longer
+ than 6k.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ Given the right server configuration, an attacker could cause a Denial of
+ Service or execute code as the user running Apache, usually
+ "apache". It is thought to be impossible to exploit this to
+ execute code on the x86 platform, but the possibility for other platforms
+ is unknown. This does not preclude a DoS on x86 systems.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ A server should not be vulnerable if it is not configured to use
+ FakeBasicAuth and to trust a client CA with a long subject DN.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ Apache 1.x users should upgrade to the latest version of mod_ssl:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.18"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.18"</code>
+ <p>
+ Apache 2.x users should upgrade to the latest version of Apache:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=www-servers/apache-2.0.49-r3"
+ # emerge "&gt;=www-servers/apache-2.0.49-r3"</code>
