Apache-SSL buffer overflow condition (all versions prior to 1.3.22+1.46) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Synopsis -------- A buffer overflow was recently found in mod_ssl, see: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/bugtraq/2002-02/0313.html for details. The offending code in mod_ssl was, in fact, derived from Apache-SSL, and Apache-SSL is also vulnerable. As in mod_ssl, this flaw can only be exploited if client certificates are being used, and the certificate in question must be issued by a trusted CA. Fix --- Download Apache-SSL 1.3.22+1.46 from the usual places (see http://www.apache-ssl.org/). Acknowledgements ---------------- Thanks to Ed Moyle for finding the flaw. Rant ---- No thanks to anyone at all for alerting me before going public. Cheers, guys.
