    Dependent Packages: none

    Description:
      According to a vendor announcement [1], a vulnerability exists in
      the Apache HTTP server [0], version 1.3. The problem is a potential
      buffer overflow in the "get_tag" function of Apache's SSI module
      "mod_include". It allows local users who can create SSI documents
      to execute arbitrary code as the Apache run-time user via SSI
      documents that trigger a content length calculation error. The
      Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
      CAN-2004-0940 [2] to the problem.

      Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
      rpm -q apache". If you have the "apache" package installed and its
      version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
      upgrade it (see Solution) [3][4].

    Solution:
      Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
      [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
      location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
      from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
      binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.2, perform the
      following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
      other releases adjust accordingly).

      $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
      ftp> bin
      ftp> cd release/2.2/UPD
      ftp> get apache-1.3.31-2.2.1.src.rpm
      ftp> bye
      $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig apache-1.3.31-2.2.1.src.rpm
      $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild apache-1.3.31-2.2.1.src.rpm
      $ su -
      # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/apache-1.3.31-2.2.1.*.rpm
