- CVEs with nessus.description==An update for httpd is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful,
efficient, and extensible web server.
Security Fix(es) :
* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way httpd handled invalid and
previously unregistered HTTP methods specified in the Limit directive
used in an .htaccess file. A remote attacker could possibly use this
flaw to disclose portions of the server memory, or cause httpd child
process to crash. (CVE-2017-9798)
* A regression was found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 version
of httpd, causing comments in the 'Allow' and 'Deny' configuration
lines to be parsed incorrectly. A web administrator could
unintentionally allow any client to access a restricted HTTP resource.
(CVE-2017-12171)
Red Hat would like to thank Hanno BAPck for reporting CVE-2017-9798
and KAWAHARA Masashi for reporting CVE-2017-12171.
