-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2202-1 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ Stefan Fritsch March 23, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : apache2 Vulnerability : failure to drop root privileges Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2011-1176 Debian Bug : 618857 MPM_ITK is an alternative Multi-Processing Module for Apache HTTPD that is included in Debian's apache2 package. A configuration parsing flaw has been found in MPM_ITK. If the configuration directive NiceValue was set, but no AssignUserID directive was specified, the requests would be processed as user and group root instead of the default Apache user and group. This issue does not affect the standard Apache HTTPD MPMs prefork, worker, and event. The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this problem. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.16-6+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.17-2. If you use apache2-mpm-itk, we recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
