Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU32851

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3348

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The mod_proxy_ajp module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.21, when used with mod_proxy_balancer in certain configurations, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary "error state" in the backend server) via a malformed HTTP request.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages:

i686:
    httpd-devel-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686
    httpd-tools-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686
    httpd-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686
    mod_ssl-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686
    httpd-debuginfo-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686

noarch:
    httpd-manual-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.noarch

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU33694

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.9 [CVSS:3.1/CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3368

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The mod_proxy module in the Apache HTTP Server 1.3.x through 1.3.42, 2.0.x through 2.0.64, and 2.2.x through 2.2.21 does not properly interact with use of (1) RewriteRule and (2) ProxyPassMatch pattern matches for configuration of a reverse proxy, which allows remote attackers to send requests to intranet servers via a malformed URI containing an initial @ (at sign) character.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages:

i686:
    httpd-devel-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686
    httpd-tools-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686
    httpd-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686
    mod_ssl-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686
    httpd-debuginfo-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.i686

noarch:
    httpd-manual-2.2.21-1.19.amzn1.noarch
