| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'apache2' package(s) announced via the DSA-1816-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that the Apache web server did not properly handle the 'Options=' parameter to the AllowOverride directive:
In the stable distribution (lenny), local users could (via .htaccess) enable script execution in Server Side Includes even in configurations where the AllowOverride directive contained only Options=IncludesNoEXEC.
In the oldstable distribution (etch), local users could (via .htaccess) enable script execution in Server Side Includes and CGI script execution in configurations where the AllowOverride directive contained any 'Options=' value.
The oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.3-4+etch8.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.9-10+lenny3.
For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed in version 2.2.11-6.
This advisory also provides updated apache2-mpm-itk packages which have been recompiled against the new apache2 packages (except for the s390 architecture where updated packages will follow shortly).
We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
Affected Software/OS:
'apache2' package(s) on Debian 4, Debian 5.
Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
