Re: lug-bg: apache remote vulnerability

[P.Kirkov@xxxxxxxxxxx (Peter Kirkov)]

Problema ne e _samo_ v 64-bitovite OS.

Ot http://httpd.apache.org **
<citat> *
UPDATE:* (supersedes security bulletin 20020617)

This follow-up to our earlier advisory is to warn of known-exploitable 
conditions related to this vulnerability on both 64-bit platforms and 
32-bit platforms alike. Though we previously reported that 32-bit 
platforms were not remotely exploitable, it has since been proven by 
Gobbles that certain conditions allowing exploitation do exist.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to the execution 
of arbitrary code on the server with the permissions of the web server 
child process. This can facilitate the further exploitation of 
vulnerabilities unrelated to Apache on the local system, potentially 
allowing the intruder root access.

Note that early patches for this issue released by ISS and others do not 
address its full scope.

Due to the existence of exploits circulating in the wild for some 
platforms, the risk is considered high. The Apache Software Foundation 
has released versions 1.3.26 and 2.0.39 that address and fix this issue, 
and all users are urged to upgrade immediately. These versions are 
available for download; see below.

Eto i citat ot advisory-to:

<citat>
At the least, this could help a
remote attacker launch a denial of service attack as the parent process
will eventually have to replace the terminated child process, and starting
new children uses non-trivial amounts of resources.

T.e. problema ne e samo v exploita...
