A Denial of Service attack was discovered by Mark Litchfield in the Apache webserver. As well, while investigating this problem, the Apache Software Foundation discovered that the code for handling invalid requests that use chunked encoding may also allow arbitrary code to be executed on 64bit architectures. All versions of Apache prior to 1.3.26 and 2.0.37 are vulnerable to this problem. A patched version of Apache is currently available for Single Network Firewall 7.2, with patched versions of Apache soon to be available for the other supported Mandrake Linux versions.
