Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1 httpd security and bug fix update

Notes

Topic
An update for the Apache HTTP Server component of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1 that fixes two security issues and one bug is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
Details
Red Hat JBoss Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat Native library. It was found that the mod_dav module did not correctly strip leading white space from certain elements in a parsed XML. In certain httpd configurations that use the mod_dav module (for example when using the mod_dav_svn module), a remote attacker could send a specially crafted DAV request that would cause the httpd child process to crash or, possibly, allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the "apache" user. (CVE-2013-6438) A buffer over-read flaw was found in the httpd mod_log_config module. In configurations where cookie logging is enabled, a remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the httpd child process via an HTTP request with a malformed cookie header. (CVE-2014-0098) This update also fixes the following bug: It was discovered that the mod_log_config module, which provides logging of client requests, truncated cookie values at the first occurrence of an equal sign ('=') when using the "%{abc}C" syntax in a LogFormat definition. (ASF Bug 53104) All users of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this update. The Apache HTTP Server must be restarted for this update to take effect.
