Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the Apache web server that affect all 2.x versions prior to 2.0.46. The first, discovered by John Hughes, is a build system problem that allows remote attackers to prevent access to authenticated content when a threaded server is used. This only affects versions of Apache compiled with threaded server "httpd.worker", which is not the default for Mandrake Linux.

                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           apache2
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:063-1
Date:                   June 2nd, 2003
Original Advisory Date: May 30th, 2003
Affected versions:	9.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the Apache web server that
 affect all 2.x versions prior to 2.0.46.  The first, discovered by John
 Hughes, is a build system problem that allows remote attackers to
 prevent access to authenticated content when a threaded server is used.
 This only affects versions of Apache compiled with threaded server
 "httpd.worker", which is not the default for Mandrake Linux.
 
 The second vulnerability, discovered by iDefense, allows remote
 attackers to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) condition and may also
 allow the execution of arbitrary code.
 
 The provided packages include back-ported fixes to correct these
 vulnerabilities and MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade
 immediately.
  
Update:

 The previous update mistakenly listed apache-conf packages which were
 never included, nor intended to be included, as part of the update.

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:

  rpm --checksig <filename>

All packages are signed by MandrakeSoft for security.  You can obtain
the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team from:
