    NOTICE:
    There are no restrictions for distribution of this Security
    Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact.

    The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon
    as soon as possible.

    INITIAL RELEASE:
    27 January 2005

    POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT:
    Remote Denial of Service (DoS) and execurtion of arbitrary code.

    SOURCE:
    Hewlett-Packard Company
    HP Software Security Response Team

    VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
    Two security vulnerabilities have been reported in Apache HTTP
    server (http://httpd.apache.org/) versions prior to Apache 1.3.33
    that may allow a Denial of Service (DoS) attack and execution of
    arbitrarty code.
    REFERENCES:
    CAN-2004-0492, CAN-2004-0940

    SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
    HP-UX B.11.04 with VirtualVault 4.7, Virtualvault 4.6, or
    VirtualVault 4.5, and HP Webproxy A.02.10 and A.02.00 only.

    BACKGROUND:
    The Apache group, while announcing the release Apache HTTP
    Server version 1.3.33, said that the following security defects
    had been addressed.

    1. Heap-based buffer overflow in mod_proxy in Apache 1.3.25
       to 1.3.31 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
       service (process crash) and possibly execute arbitrary
       code via a negative Content-Length HTTP header field, which
       causes a large amount of data to be copied.
         http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0492

    2. Buffer overflow in mod_include for Apache 1.3.x to 1.3.32
       allows local users who can create SSI documents to execute
       arbitrary code as the apache user via SSI (XSSI) documents
       that trigger a length calculation error.
