    <title>[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 Released</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.announce/64</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;          Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 Released

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project
are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.2 of the Apache
HTTP Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is our 2nd GA
release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD and
represents fifteen years of innovation by the project, and is
recommended over all previous releases. This version of Apache is
principally a security and bug fix release, including the following
security fix:

*) SECURITY: CVE-2012-0883 (cve.mitre.org)
  envvars: Fix insecure handling of LD_LIBRARY_PATH that could
  lead to the current working directory to be searched for DSOs.

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 is available for download from:

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Apache 2.4 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
boosts over the 2.2 codebase.  For an overview of new features
introduced since 2.4 please see:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html

Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.2 includes only
those changes introduced since the prior 2.4 release.  A summary of all 
of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases 
is available:

http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html

This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.x
and APR-Util version 1.4.x. The APR libraries must be upgraded for all
features of httpd to operate correctly.

This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API.  Modules written
for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/VERSIONING

When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind
that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other
than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be
using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.

NOTE to Windows users: AcceptFilter None has replaced Win32DisableAcceptEx 
  and the feature appears to have interoperability issues with mod_ssl.
  Apache 2.4.2 may not yet be suitable for all Windows servers.  There 
  is not yet a Windows binary distribution of httpd 2.4, but this is
  expected to be remedied soon as various dependencies graduate from
  beta to GA.

     mod_log_config: Fix segfault (crash) when the '%{cookiename}C' log format
     string is in use and a client sends a nameless, valueless cookie, causing
     a denial of service. The issue existed since version 2.2.17.

   * SECURITY: CVE-2012-0031 (cve.mitre.org)
     Fix scoreboard issue which could allow an unprivileged child process
     could cause the parent to crash at shutdown rather than terminate
     cleanly.

   * SECURITY: CVE-2012-0053 (cve.mitre.org)
     Fixed an issue in error responses that could expose "httpOnly" cookies
     when no custom ErrorDocument is specified for status code 400.

Apache HTTP Server Security Advisory
====================================

Title:       mod_proxy reverse proxy exposure

CVE:         CVE-2011-3368
Date:        20111005
Product:     Apache HTTP Server
Versions:    httpd 1.3 all versions, httpd 2.x all versions

Description:
============

An exposure was reported affecting the use of Apache HTTP Server in
reverse proxy mode.  We would like to thank Context Information
Security Ltd for reporting this issue to us.

When using the RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch directives to configure a
reverse proxy using a pattern match, it is possible to inadvertently
expose internal servers to remote users who send carefully crafted
requests.  The server did not validate that the input to the pattern
match was a valid path string, so a pattern could expand to an
unintended target URL.

For future releases of the Apache HTTP Server, the software will
validate the request URI, correcting this specific vulnerability.  The
documentation has been updated to reflect the more general risks with
pattern matching in a reverse proxy configuration.

Details:
========

A configuration like one of the following examples:

  RewriteRule (.*)\.(jpg|gif|png)    http://images.example.com$1.$2 [P]
  ProxyPassMatch (.*)\.(jpg|gif|png) http://images.example.com$1.$2

could result in an exposure of internal servers.  A request of the form:

  GET &amp;lt; at &amp;gt;other.example.com/something.png HTTP/1.1

would get translated to a target of:

  http://images.example.com&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;other.example.com/something.png

This will cause the proxy to connect to the hostname
"other.example.com", as the "images.example.com&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;" segment would be
treated as user credentials when parsing the URL.  This would allow a
remote attacker the ability to proxy to hosts other than those
expected, which could be a security exposure in some circumstances.

The request-URI string in this example,
"&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;other.example.com/something.png", is not valid according to the HTTP
specification, since it neither an absolute URI
("http://example.com/path") nor an absolute path ("/path").  For
future releases, the server has been patched to reject such requests,
instead returning a "400 Bad Request" error.

Actions:
========

Apache HTTPD users should examine their configuration files to determine 
if they have used an insecure configuration for reverse proxying.  
Affected users can update their configuration, or apply the patch from:

   http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.2.21/

For example, the above RewriteRule could be changed to:

  RewriteRule /(.*)\.(jpg|gif|png)    http://images.example.com/$1.$2 [P]

to ensure the pattern only matches against paths with a leading "/".

          Apache HTTPD Security ADVISORY
          ==============================
                    UPDATE 2

Title:       Range header DoS vulnerability Apache HTTPD 1.3/2.x

CVE:         CVE-2011-3192
Last Change: 20110826 1030Z
Date:        20110824 1600Z
Product:     Apache HTTPD Web Server
Versions:    Apache 1.3 all versions, Apache 2 all versions

Changes since last update
=========================
In addition to the 'Range' header - the 'Range-Request' header is equally
affected. Furthermore various vendor updates, improved regexes (speed and
accommodating a different and new attack pattern).

Description:
============

A denial of service vulnerability has been found in the way the multiple 
overlapping ranges are handled by the Apache HTTPD server:

     http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Aug/175 

An attack tool is circulating in the wild. Active use of this tool has 
been observed.

The attack can be done remotely and with a modest number of requests can 
cause very significant memory and CPU usage on the server. 

The default Apache HTTPD installation is vulnerable.

There is currently no patch/new version of Apache HTTPD which fixes this 
vulnerability. This advisory will be updated when a long term fix 
is available. 

A full fix is expected in the next 24 hours. 

Background and the 2007 report
==============================

There are two aspects to this vulnerability. One is new, is Apache specific; 
and resolved with this server side fix. The other issue is fundamentally a 
protocol design issue dating back to 2007:

      http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2007/Jan/83 

The contemporary interpretation of the HTTP protocol (currently) requires a 
server to return multiple (overlapping) ranges; in the order requested. This 
means that one can request a very large range (e.g. from byte 0- to the end) 
100's of times in a single request. 

Being able to do so is an issue for (probably all) webservers and currently 
subject of an IETF discussion to change the protocol:

      http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/311

This advisory details a problem with how Apache httpd and its so called 
internal 'bucket brigades' deal with serving such "valid" request. The
problem is that currently such requests internally explode into 100's of 
large fetches, all of which are kept in memory in an inefficient way. This
is being addressed in two ways. By making things more efficient. And by 
weeding out or simplifying requests deemed too unwieldy.

Mitigation:
===========

There are several immediate options to mitigate this issue until a full fix 
is available. Below examples handle both the 'Range' and the legacy
'Request-Range' with various levels of care. 

Note that 'Request-Range' is a legacy name dating back to Netscape Navigator 
2-3 and MSIE 3. Depending on your user community - it is likely that you
can use option '3' safely for this older 'Request-Range'.

1) Use SetEnvIf or mod_rewrite to detect a large number of ranges and then
   either ignore the Range: header or reject the request.

   Option 1: (Apache 2.2)

          # Drop the Range header when more than 5 ranges.
          # CVE-2011-3192
          SetEnvIf Range (?:,.*?){5,5} bad-range=1
          RequestHeader unset Range env=bad-range

          # We always drop Request-Range; as this is a legacy
          # dating back to MSIE3 and Netscape 2 and 3.
          RequestHeader unset Request-Range

          # optional logging.
          CustomLog logs/range-CVE-2011-3192.log common env=bad-range
          CustomLog logs/range-CVE-2011-3192.log common env=bad-req-range

   Above may not work for all configurations. In particular situations
   mod_cache and (language) modules may act before the 'unset'
   is executed upon during the 'fixup' phase.

   Option 2: (Pre 2.2 and 1.3)

          # Reject request when more than 5 ranges in the Range: header.
          # CVE-2011-3192
          #
          RewriteEngine on
          RewriteCond %{HTTP:range} !(bytes=[^,]+(,[^,]+){0,4}$|^$)
          # RewriteCond %{HTTP:request-range} !(bytes=[^,]+(?:,[^,]+){0,4}$|^$)
          RewriteRule .* - [F]

          # We always drop Request-Range; as this is a legacy
          # dating back to MSIE3 and Netscape 2 and 3.
          RequestHeader unset Request-Range

   The number 5 is arbitrary. Several 10's should not be an issue and may be
   required for sites which for example serve PDFs to very high end eReaders
   or use things such complex http based video streaming.

2) Limit the size of the request field to a few hundred bytes. Note that while 
   this keeps the offending Range header short - it may break other headers; 
   such as sizeable cookies or security fields. 

          LimitRequestFieldSize 200

   Note that as the attack evolves in the field you are likely to have
   to further limit this and/or impose other LimitRequestFields limits.

   See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize

3) Use mod_headers to completely dis-allow the use of Range headers:

          RequestHeader unset Range 

   Note that this may break certain clients - such as those used for
   e-Readers and progressive/http-streaming video.

   Furthermore to ignore the Netscape Navigator 2-3 and MSIE 3 specific
   legacy header - add:

          RequestHeader unset Request-Range 

   Unlike the commonly used 'Range' header - dropping the 'Request-Range' 
   is not likely to affect many clients.

Actions:
========

Apache HTTPD users who are concerned about a DoS attack against their server 
should consider implementing any of the above mitigations immediately. 

When using a third party attack tool to verify vulnerability - note that most 
of the versions in the wild currently check for the presence of mod_deflate; 
and will (mis)report that your server is not vulnerable if this module is not 
present. This vulnerability is not dependent on presence or absence of 
that module.

Planning:
=========

This advisory will be updated when new information, a patch or a new release 
is available. A patch or new Apache release for Apache 2.0 and 2.2 is expected 
in the next 24 hours. Note that, while popular, Apache 1.3 is deprecated.

          Apache HTTPD Security ADVISORY
          ==============================

Title:    Range header DoS vulnerability Apache HTTPD 1.3/2.x

CVE:      CVE-2011-3192: 
Date:     20110824 1600Z
Product:  Apache HTTPD Web Server
Versions: Apache 1.3 all versions, Apache 2 all versions

Description:
============

A denial of service vulnerability has been found in the way the multiple 
overlapping ranges are handled by the Apache HTTPD server:

     http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Aug/175 

An attack tool is circulating in the wild. Active use of this tools has 
been observed.

The attack can be done remotely and with a modest number of requests can 
cause very significant memory and CPU usage on the server. 

The default Apache HTTPD installation is vulnerable.

There is currently no patch/new version of Apache HTTPD which fixes this 
vulnerability. This advisory will be updated when a long term fix 
is available. 

A full fix is expected in the next 48 hours. 

Mitigation:
============

However there are several immediate options to mitigate this issue until 
a full fix is available:

1) Use SetEnvIf or mod_rewrite to detect a large number of ranges and then
   either ignore the Range: header or reject the request.

   Option 1: (Apache 2.0 and 2.2)

          # Drop the Range header when more than 5 ranges.
          # CVE-2011-3192
          SetEnvIf Range (,.*?){5,} bad-range=1
          RequestHeader unset Range env=bad-range

          # optional logging.
          CustomLog logs/range-CVE-2011-3192.log common env=bad-range

   Option 2: (Also for Apache 1.3)

          # Reject request when more than 5 ranges in the Range: header.
          # CVE-2011-3192
          #
          RewriteEngine on
          RewriteCond %{HTTP:range} !(^bytes=[^,]+(,[^,]+){0,4}$|^$)
          RewriteRule .* - [F]

   The number 5 is arbitrary. Several 10's should not be an issue and may be
   required for sites which for example serve PDFs to very high end eReaders
   or use things such complex http based video streaming.

2) Limit the size of the request field to a few hundred bytes. Note that while 
   this keeps the offending Range header short - it may break other headers; 
   such as sizeable cookies or security fields. 

          LimitRequestFieldSize 200

   Note that as the attack evolves in the field you are likely to have
   to further limit this and/or impose other LimitRequestFields limits.

   See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize

3) Use mod_headers to completely dis-allow the use of Range headers:

          RequestHeader unset Range 

   Note that this may break certain clients - such as those used for
   e-Readers and progressive/http-streaming video.

4) Deploy a Range header count module as a temporary stopgap measure:

     http://people.apache.org/~dirkx/mod_rangecnt.c

   Precompiled binaries for some platforms are available at:

http://people.apache.org/~dirkx/BINARIES.txt

5) Apply any of the current patches under discussion - such as:

   http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201108.mbox/%3cCAAPSnn2PO-d-C4nQt_TES2RRWiZr7urefhTKPWBC1b+K1Dqc7g&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;mail.gmail.com%3e

Actions:
========

Apache HTTPD users who are concerned about a DoS attack against their server 
should consider implementing any of the above mitigations immediately. 

When using a third party attack tool to verify vulnerability - know that most 
of the versions in the wild currently check for the presence of mod_deflate; 
and will (mis)report that your server is not vulnerable if this module is not 
present. This vulnerability is not dependent on presence or absence of

    <title>Apache HTTP Server 2.2.19 Released</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.announce/57</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;                       Apache HTTP Server 2.2.19 Released

   The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
   pleased to announce the release of version 2.2.19 of the Apache HTTP
   Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is principally a bug fix
   release, correcting regressions in the httpd 2.2.18 package; the use
   of that previous 2.2.18 package is discouraged due to these flaws:

     * SECURITY: CVE-2011-1928 (cve.mitre.org)
       A fix in bundled APR 1.4.4 apr_fnmatch() to address CVE-2011-0419
       introduced a new vulnerability.  httpd workers enter a hung state
       (100% cpu utilization) after updating to APR 1.4.4.  Upgrading to
       APR 1.4.5 bundled with the httpd 2.2.19 package, or using APR 1.4.3
       or prior with the 'IgnoreClient' option of the 'IndexOptions'
       directive will circumvent both issues.

     * httpd 2.2.18: The ap_unescape_url_keep2f() function signature was
       inadvertantly changed. This breaks binary compatibility of a number
       of third-party modules.  This httpd-2.2.19 package restores the
       function signature provided by 2.2.17 and prior.

   We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and
   encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.

   Apache HTTP Server 2.2.19 is available for download from:

     http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

   Please see the CHANGES_2.2 file, linked from the download page, for a
   full list of changes.  A condensed list, CHANGES_2.2.19 provides the
   complete list of changes since 2.2.18.  A summary of all of the security
   vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases is available:

     http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html

   This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.5
   and APR Utility Library (APR-util) version 1.3.12, bundled with the tar
   and zip distributions.  The APR libraries libapr and libaprutil (and
   on Win32, libapriconv version 1.2.1) must all be updated to ensure
   binary compatibility and address many known security and platform bugs.

   Apache 2.2 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
   boosts over the 2.0 codebase.  For an overview of new features
   introduced since 2.0 please see:

     http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html

   This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.0 API.  Modules written
   for Apache 2.0 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
   2.2, and require minimal or no source code changes.

     http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/VERSIONING

   When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind
   that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other
   than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be
   using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.

   The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
   pleased to announce the release of version 2.2.18 of the Apache HTTP

       apr_fnmatch flaw leads to mod_autoindex remote DoS
       Where mod_autoindex is enabled, and a directory indexed by
       mod_autoindex contained files with sufficiently long names,
       a carefully crafted request may cause excessive CPU usage
       Upgrading to APR 1.4.4, or setting the 'IgnoreClient' option
       of the 'IndexOptions' directive circumvents this risk.

  Additionally, default configuration settings for request body handling
  have been changed to prevent large system resource use.  Administrators
  of all versions of mod_fcgid are strongly cautioned to ensure that
  FcgidMaxRequestLen is configured appropriately.

  mod_fcgid is available for download from:

    http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

  A full list of changes in this release follows:

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-3872 (cve.mitre.org)
     Fix possible stack buffer overwrite.  Diagnosed by the reporter.
     PR 49406.  [Edgar Frank &amp;lt;ef-lists email.de&amp;gt;]

  *) Change the default for FcgidMaxRequestLen from 1GB to 128K.
     Administrators should change this to an appropriate value based on
     site requirements.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow FastCGI apps more time to exit at shutdown before being
     forcefully killed.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Correct a problem that resulted in FcgidMaxProcesses being ignored
     in some situations.  PR 48981.  [&amp;lt;rkosolapov gmail.com&amp;gt;]

  *) Fix the search for processes with the proper vhost config when
     ServerName isn't set in every vhost or a module updates
     r-&amp;gt;server-&amp;gt;server_hostname dynamically (e.g., mod_vhost_cdb)
     or a module updates r-&amp;gt;server dynamically (e.g., mod_vhost_ldap).
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) FcgidPassHeader now maps header names to environment variable names
     in the usual manner: The header name is converted to upper case and
     is prefixed with HTTP_.  An additional environment variable is
     created with the legacy name.  PR 48964.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow processes to be reused within multiple phases of a request

   Apache HTTP Server 2.0.64 legacy release is also currently available,
   with the same vulnerability correction as well as many others fixed in
   2.2.16 and earlier releases.  See the corresponding CHANGES files linked
   from the download page.  The Apache HTTP Project developers strongly
   encourage all users to migrate to Apache 2.2, as only limited and less
   frequent maintenance is provided for legacy versions.

   Apache 2.2 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
   boosts over the 2.0 codebase.  For an overview of new features
   introduced since 2.0 please see:

    <title>Apache HTTP Server 2.2.17 and 2.0.64 Released</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.announce/50</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;
   The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
   pleased to announce the release of version 2.2.17 of the Apache HTTP
   Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is principally a bug fix
   release, and a security fix release of the APR-util 1.3.10 dependency;

     * SECURITY: CVE-2010-1623 (cve.mitre.org)
       Fix a denial of service attack against apr_brigade_split_line().

     * SECURITY: CVE-2009-3560, CVE-2009-3720 (cve.mitre.org)
       Fix two buffer over-read flaws in the bundled copy of expat which
       could cause httpd to crash while parsing specially-crafted
       XML documents.

   We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and
   encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.

   Apache HTTP Server 2.2.17 is available for download from:

     http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

   Apache HTTP Server 2.0.64 legacy release is also currently available,
   with the same vulnerability correction as well as many others fixed in
   2.2.16 and earlier releases.  See the corresponding CHANGES files linked
   from the download page.  The Apache HTTP Project developers strongly
   encourage all users to migrate to Apache 2.2, as only limited and less
   frequent maintenance is provided for legacy versions.

   Apache 2.2 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
   boosts over the 2.0 codebase.  For an overview of new features
   introduced since 2.0 please see:

     http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html

   Please see the CHANGES_2.2 file, linked from the download page, for a
   full list of changes.  A condensed list, CHANGES_2.2.17 provides the
   complete list of changes since 2.2.16.  A summary of all of the security
   vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases is available:

     http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html

   This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.2
   and APR Utility Library (APR-util) version 1.3.10, bundled with the tar
   and zip distributions.  The APR libraries libapr and libaprutil (and
   on Win32, libapriconv version 1.2.1) must all be updated to ensure
   binary compatibility and address many known security and platform bugs.

   This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.0 API.  Modules written
   for Apache 2.0 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
   2.2, and require minimal or no source code changes.

     http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/VERSIONING

   When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind
   that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other
   than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be
   using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.

 Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is principally an alpha release
 to test new technology and features that are incompatible or too large for
 the stable 2.2.x branch. This alpha release should not be presumed to
 be compatible with binaries built against any prior or future version.

 This release is expected to be the last alpha release; subsequent releases
 will be beta releases as we move towards 2.4.0-GA.

    <title>[advisory] httpd Timeout detection flaw (mod_proxy_http) CVE-2010-2068</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.announce/47</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Vulnerability; httpd Timeout detection flaw (mod_proxy_http) CVE-2010-2068

Classification; important

Description;

    A timeout detection flaw in the httpd mod_proxy_http module causes
    proxied response to be sent as the response to a different request,
    and potentially served to a different client, from the HTTP proxy
    pool worker pipeline.

    This may represent a confidential data revealing flaw.

    This affects only Netware, Windows or OS2 builds of httpd version
    2.2.9 through 2.2.15, 2.3.4-alpha and 2.3.5-alpha, when the proxy
    worker pools have been enabled.  Earlier 2.2, 2.0 and 1.3 releases
    were not affected.

Acknowledgements;

    We would like to thank Loren Anderson for the thorough research
    and reporting of this flaw.

Mitigation;

    Apply any one of the following mitigations to avert the possibility
    of confidential information disclosure.

    * Do not load mod_proxy_http.

    * Do not configure/enable any http proxy worker pools with ProxySet
      or ProxyPass optional arguments.

    * The straightforward workaround to disable mod_proxy_http's reuse
      of backend connection pipelines is to set the following global
      directive;

        SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

    * Replace mod_proxy_http.so with a patched version, for source code
      see http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.2.15/ or
      http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.3.5/ and for
      binaries see the http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/ tree
      for win32 or netware, as appropriate.

    * Upgrade to Apache httpd 2.2.16 or higher, once released.  There
      is no tentative release date scheduled.

Update Released; 11th June 2010

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of version
2.2.15 of the Apache HTTP Server ("httpd").  This version of httpd is
principally a security and bug fix release.

Notably, this release was updated to reflect the OpenSSL Project's
release 0.9.8m of the openssl library, and addresses CVE-2009-3555
(cve.mitre.org), the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack.
This release further addresses the issues CVE-2010-0408, CVE-2010-0425
and CVE-2010-0434 within mod_proxy_ajp, mod_isapi and mod_headers
respectively.

We consider this release to be the best version of httpd available, and
encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.

Apache HTTP Server 2.2.15 is available for download from:

  http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Please see the CHANGES_2.2 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes.  A condensed list, CHANGES_2.2.15 provides the
complete list of changes since 2.2.14. A summary of security
vulnerabilities which were addressed in the previous 2.2.14 and earlier
releases is available:

  http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html

Apache HTTP Server 2.2.15 is compatible with Apache Portable Runtime
(APR) versions 1.3 and 1.4, APR-util library version 1.3, and
APR-iconv library version 1.2.  The most current releases should
be used to address known security and platform bugs.  At the time of

performance enhancements over the 2.0 codebase.  For an overview of
new features introduced since 2.0 please see:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html

This release builds upon and extends the httpd 2.0 API.  Modules written
for httpd 2.0 will need to be recompiled in order to run with httpd 2.2,
and may require minimal or no source code changes.

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/upgrading.html


   Apache 1.3.42 is available for download from

           http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

   This service utilizes the network of mirrors listed at:

           http://www.apache.org/mirrors/

   Binary distributions may be available for your specific platform from

           http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/

   Binaries distributed by the Apache HTTP Server Project are provided as a
   courtesy by individual project contributors. The project makes no
   commitment to release the Apache HTTP Server in binary form for any
   particular platform, nor on any particular schedule.

   IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APACHE USERS: Apache 1.3 was designed for Unix OS
   variants. While the ports to non-Unix platforms (such as Win32, Netware or
   OS2) will function for some applications, Apache 1.3 is not designed for
   these platforms. Apache 2 was designed from the ground up for security,
   stability, or performance issues across all modern operating systems.
   Users of any non-Unix ports are strongly cautioned to move to Apache 2.

   The Apache project no longer distributes non-Unix platform binaries from
   the main download pages for Apache 1.3. If absolutely necessary, a binary
   may be available at http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/.
