Insight
The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server.
Update Information:
This update includes the latest release of the Apache HTTP Server, version 2.2.13, fixing several security issues:
* Fix a potential Denial-of-Service attack against mod_deflate or other modules, by forcing the server to consume CPU time in compressing a large file after a client disconnects. (CVE-2009-1891) * Prevent the Includes Option from being enabled in an .htaccess file if the AllowOverride restrictions do not permit it.
(CVE-2009-1195)
* Fix a potential Denial-of-Service attack against mod_proxy in a reverse proxy configuration, where a remote attacker can force a proxy process to consume CPU time indefinitely. (CVE-2009-1890) * mod_proxy_ajp: Avoid delivering content from a previous request which failed to send a request body. (CVE-2009-1191)
