Please Install the Updated Packages.

The Apache HTTP Server is a popular Web server. A flaw was found in the mod_proxy Apache module. An attacker in control of a Web server to which requests were being proxied could have caused a limited denial of service due to CPU consumption and stack exhaustion. (CVE-2008-2364) A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_ftp Apache module. If Apache was configured to support FTP-over-HTTP proxying, a remote attacker could have performed a cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2008-2939) In addition, these updated packages fix a bug found in the handling of the &quot ProxyRemoteMatch&quot directive in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 httpd packages. This bug is not present in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 packages. Users of httpd should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

httpd on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server)
