+ <title>Apache JK Tomcat Connector: Remote execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk) contains a buffer overflow
+ vulnerability that could result in the remote execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">mod_jk</product>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="www-apache/mod_jk" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.2.21-r1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.2.21-r1</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The Apache HTTP server is a very widely used web server. mod_jk
+ provides the JK module for connecting Tomcat and Apache using the ajp13
+ protocol.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ ZDI reported an unsafe memory copy in mod_jk that was discovered by an
+ anonymous researcher in the map_uri_to_worker function of
+ native/common/jk_uri_worker_map.c .
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker can send a long URL request to an Apache server using
+ Tomcat. That can trigger the vulnerability and lead to a stack-based
+ buffer overflow, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code
+ with the permissions of the Apache user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Apache Tomcat users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apache/mod_jk-1.2.21-r1"</code>
