(RHSA-2007:0532) Moderate: apache security update

The Apache HTTP Server is a popular Web server.

The Apache HTTP Server did not verify that a process was an Apache child
process before sending it signals. A local attacker who has the ability to
run scripts on the Apache HTTP Server could manipulate the scoreboard and
cause arbitrary processes to be terminated, which could lead to a denial of
service. (CVE-2007-3304)

A flaw was found in the Apache HTTP Server mod_status module. Sites with
the server-status page publicly accessible and ExtendedStatus enabled were
vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux
the server-status page is not enabled by default and it is best practice to
not make this publicly available. (CVE-2006-5752)

Users of Apache should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues. Users should restart Apache
after installing this update.
