+ <p>
+ The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
+ Internet.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Adrian Pastor and Amir Azam (ProCheckUp) reported that the HTTP Method
+ specifier header is not properly sanitized when the HTTP return code is
+ "413 Request Entity too large" (CVE-2007-6203). The mod_proxy_balancer
+ module does not properly check the balancer name before using it
+ (CVE-2007-6422). The mod_proxy_ftp does not define a charset in its
+ answers (CVE-2008-0005). Stefano Di Paola (Minded Security) reported
+ that filenames are not properly sanitized within the mod_negotiation
+ module (CVE-2008-0455, CVE-2008-0456).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious URL or send
+ specially crafted HTTP requests (i.e using Adobe Flash) to perform
+ Cross-Site Scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks, or conduct a
+ Denial of Service attack on the vulnerable web server.
+ </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 "&gt;=www-servers/apache-2.2.8"</code>
+ </resolution>
