(Red Hat Issues Fix) Apache mod_status Input Validation Hole Permits Cross-Site Scripting Attacks
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1018306
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1018306
CVE Reference:   CVE-2006-5752   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Jun 26 2007
Impact:   Disclosure of authentication information, Disclosure of user information, Execution of arbitrary code via network, Modification of user information
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): 2.2.4
Description:   A vulnerability was reported in Apache HTTPD's mod_status. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

When ExtendedStatus is enabled and the server-status page is accessible, a remote user can cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the Apache software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.

Browsers that perform charset detection are affected.

Stefan Esser reported this vulnerability.
Impact:   A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the Apache software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix.

The Red Hat advisory is available at:

                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Moderate: apache security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2007:0532-01
Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0532.html
Issue date:        2007-06-26
Updated on:        2007-06-26
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names:         CVE-2007-3304 CVE-2006-5752 
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated Apache httpd packages that correct two security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386

3. Problem description:

The Apache HTTP Server is a popular Web server.

The Apache HTTP Server did not verify that a process was an Apache child
process before sending it signals. A local attacker who has the ability to
run scripts on the Apache HTTP Server could manipulate the scoreboard and
cause arbitrary processes to be terminated, which could lead to a denial of
service. (CVE-2007-3304) 

A flaw was found in the Apache HTTP Server mod_status module. Sites with
the server-status page publicly accessible and ExtendedStatus enabled were
vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux
the server-status page is not enabled by default and it is best practice to
not make this publicly available. (CVE-2006-5752)

Users of Apache should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues. Users should restart Apache
after installing this update.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  

This update is available via Red Hat Network.  Details on how to use 
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

245111 - CVE-2007-3304 httpd scoreboard lack of PID protection
