Package : apache2
CVE ID : CVE-2014-0118 CVE-2014-0226 CVE-2014-0231

Several security issues were found in the Apache HTTP server.

CVE-2014-0118

The DEFLATE input filter (inflates request bodies) in mod_deflate
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource
consumption) via crafted request data that decompresses to a much
larger size.

CVE-2014-0226

A race condition was found in mod_status. An attacker able to
access a public server status page on a server could send carefully
crafted requests which could lead to a heap buffer overflow,
causing denial of service, disclosure of sensitive information, or
potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2014-0231

A flaw was found in mod_cgid. If a server using mod_cgid hosted
CGI scripts which did not consume standard input, a remote attacker
could cause child processes to hang indefinitely, leading to denial
of service.


For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.2.22-13+deb7u3.

For the testing distribution (jessie), these problems will be fixed in
version 2.4.10-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.10-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
