Changes with Apache 2.0.62 (not released)
*) SECURITY: CVE-2007-6388 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_status: Ensure refresh parameter is numeric to prevent
a possible XSS attack caused by redirecting to other URLs.
Reported by SecurityReason. [Mark Cox, Joe Orton]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2007-5000 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_imagemap: Fix a cross-site scripting issue. Reported by JPCERT.
[Joe Orton]

to version 2.0.61.
This update is a bug and security fix release. The following security
problem hasn't been fixed in "pkgsrc" before:
- CVE-2007-3847: mod_proxy: Prevent reading past the end of a buffer when
parsing date-related headers.
config.layout file instead of CONFIGURE_ARGS, to avoid defining things
twice. No actual change, since the paths are still the same.
Added all necessary variables to BUILD_DEFS, as reported by pkglint.
to version 2.0.59. Changes since *2.0.58:
- SECURITY: CVE-2006-3747 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_rewrite: Fix an off-by-one security problem in the ldap scheme
handling. For some RewriteRules this could lead to a pointer being
written out of bounds. Reported by Mark Dowd of McAfee.
to version 2.0.58. Change since Apache relase 2.0.55:
- Legal: Restored original years in copyright notices.
- mod_cgid: run the get_suexec_identity hook within the request-handler
instead of within cgid. Apache#36410.
- core: Prevent read of unitialized memory in ap_rgetline_core.
Apache#39282.
- mod_proxy: Report the proxy server name correctly in the "Via:" header,
when UseCanonicalName is Off. Apache#11971.
- mod_isapi: Various trivial code-fixes to permit mod_isapi to load and
run on Unix.
- HTML-escape the Expect error message. Not classed as security as
an attacker has no way to influence the Expect header a victim will
send to a target site. Reported by Thiago Zaninotti
<thiango nstalker.com>.
- SECURITY: CVE-2005-3357 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_ssl: Fix a possible crash during access control checks if a
non-SSL request is processed for an SSL vhost (such as the
"HTTP request received on SSL port" error message when an 400
ErrorDocument is configured, or if using "SSLEngine optional").
Apache#37791.
- SECURITY: CVE-2005-3352 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_imap: Escape untrusted referer header before outputting in HTML
to avoid potential cross-site scripting. Change also made to
ap_escape_html so we escape quotes. Reported by JPCERT.
- Add APR/APR-Util Compiled and Runtime Version numbers to the
output of 'httpd -V'.
- Ensure that the proper status line is written to the client, fixing
incorrect status lines caused by filters which modify r->status without
resetting r->status_line, such as the built-in byterange filter.
- Default handler: Don't return output filter apr_status_t values.
Apache#31759.
- mod_speling: Stop crashing with certain non-file requests.
- keep the Content-Length header for a HEAD with no response body.
Apache#18757
- Modify apr[util] .h detection to avoid breakage on VPATH builds
using Solaris make (amoung others) and avoid breakage in ./buildconf
when srclib/apr[-util] are symlinks rather than directories proper.
- Avoid server-driven negotiation when a CGI script has emitted an
explicit "Status:" header. Apache#38070.
- mod_log_config now logs all Set-Cookie headers if the %{Set-Cookie}o
format is used. Apache#27787.
- mod_cache: Correctly handle responses with a 301 status. Apache#37347.
- mod_proxy_http: Prevent data corruption of POST request bodies when
client accesses proxied resources with SSL. Apache#37145.
- Elimiated the NET_TIME filter, restructuring the timeout logic.
This provides a working mod_echo on all platforms, and ensures any
custom protocol module is at least given an initial timeout value
based on the <VirtualHost > context's Timeout directive.
- mod_ssl: Correct issue where mod_ssl does not pick up the
ssl-unclean-shutdown setting when configured. Apache#34452.
- Document the ReceiveBufferSize change done in r157583.
- mod_deflate: Merge the Vary header, instead of Setting it. Fixes
applications that send the Vary Header themselves. Apache#37559.
- mod_dav: Fix a null pointer dereference in an error code path during the
handling of MKCOL.
- mod_mime_magic: Handle CRLF-format magic files so that it works with
the default installation on Windows.

Apache#37566.
- Add ReceiveBufferSize directive to control the TCP receive buffer.
- mod_cache: Fix 'Vary: *' behavior to be RFC compliant. Apache#16125.

links for clients not using an Authorization header.
- http_request.c: Add missing va_end call.
- Add httxt2dbm to support/ for creating RewriteMap DBM Files.
- support/check_forensic: Fix temp file usage

a flush bucket is surrounded by data buckets.
- mod_cgi(d): Remove block on OPTIONS method so that scripts can
respond to OPTIONS directly rather than via server default.
Apache#15242
- Added new module mod_version, which provides version dependent
configuration containers.
- Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).

hidden from httpd. (Clarifies bug 36750 that I have on file with Apache
Bugzilla.)
*) mod_cache: Add CacheIgnoreHeaders directive.
*) mod_ldap: Added the directive LDAPConnectionTimeout to configure
the ldap socket connection timeout value.
*) Correctly export all mod_dav public functions.
*) Add a build script to create a solaris package.
*) worker MPM: Fix a problem which could cause httpd processes to
remain active after shutdown.

linked: --with-module=<modtype>:<modfile>,<modtype>:<modfile>,...
If the <modtype>-subdirectory doesn't exist it will be created and
populated with a standard Makefile.in. [Erik Abele]
- Fix the RPM spec file so that an RPM build now works. An RPM
build now requires system installations of APR and APR-util.
Remove some arbitrary moving around of binaries - the RPM now
maps to the ASF build of httpd.
[Graham Leggett]
- mod_dumpio, an I/O logging/dumping module, added to the
modules/expermimental subdirectory. [Jim Jagielski]

of N*64 characters by one byte. Problem report 32985. [Joe Orton]
- Correct handling of certain bucket types in ap_save_brigade, fixing
possible segfaults in mod_cgi with #include virtual.
Problem report 31247. [Joe Orton]
- Allow for the use of --with-module=foo:bar where the ./modules/foo
directory is local only. Assumes, of course, that the required
files are in ./modules/foo, but makes it easier to statically
build/log "external" modules. [Jim Jagielski]
- Util_ldap: Implemented the util_ldap_cache_getuserdn() API so that
ldap authorization only modules have access to the util_ldap
user cache without having to require ldap authentication as well.
Problem report 31898. [Jari Ahonen jah progress.com, Brad Nicholes]
- mod_auth_ldap: Added the directive "Requires ldap-attribute" that
allows the module to only authorize a user if the attribute value
specified matches the value of the user object. Problem report 31913

This version of Apache is principally a bug fix release. Of particular note
is that 2.0.51 addresses five security vulnerabilities:
An input validation issue in IPv6 literal address parsing which can result
in a negative length parameter being passed to memcpy.
[CAN-2004-0786]
A buffer overflow in configuration file parsing could allow a local user to
gain the privileges of a httpd child if the server can be forced to parse a
carefully crafted .htaccess file.
[CAN-2004-0747]
A segfault in mod_ssl which can be triggered by a malicious remote server,
if proxying to SSL servers has been configured.
[CAN-2004-0751]
A potential infinite loop in mod_ssl which could be triggered given
particular timing of a connection abort.
[CAN-2004-0748]
A segfault in mod_dav_fs which can be remotely triggered by an indirect lock
refresh request.
[CAN-2004-0809]

* SECURITY: [CAN-2002-0661] Close a very significant security hole that
applies only to the Win32, OS2 and Netware platforms. Unix was not
affected, Cygwin may be affected. Certain URIs will bypass security
and allow users to invoke or access any file depending on the system
configuration. Without upgrading, a single .conf change will close
the vulnerability. Add the following directive in the global server
httpd.conf context before any other Alias or Redirect directives;
RedirectMatch 400 "\\\.\."
Reported by Auriemma Luigi <bugtest@sitoverde.com>.
[Brad Nicholes]
* SECURITY: Close a path-revealing exposure in multiview type
map negotiation (such as the default error documents) where the
module would report the full path of the typemapped .var file when
multiple documents or no documents could be served based on the mime
negotiation. Reported by Auriemma Luigi <bugtest@sitoverde.com>.
[CAN-2002-0654] [William Rowe]
* SECURITY: Close a path-revealing exposure in cgi/cgid when we
fail to invoke a script. The modules would report "couldn't create
child process /path-to-script/script.pl" revealing the full path

Changes with Apache 2.0.38
*) Rewrite htpasswd to use APR. The removes the annoying warning about
tmpnam being unsafe. [Ryan Bloom]
*) We must set the MIME-type for .shtml files to text/html if we want them
to be parsed for SSI tags. Add the config for that to the default

[Dave Dyer <ddyer@real-me.net>]
*) Fixed a problem with 'make install' on ReliantUnix.
[Jean-frederic Clere <jfrederic.clere@fujitsu-siemens.com>]
*) Make the default_handler catch all requests that aren't served by
another handler. This also gets us to return a 404 if a directory
is requested, there is no DirectoryIndex, and mod_autoindex isn't
loaded. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fixed the handling of nested if-statements in shtml files.
PR 9866 [Brian Pane]
*) Allow 'make install DESTDIR=/path'. This allows packagers to install
into a directory different from the one that was configured. This
also mirrors the root= feature from 1.3. We cannot use prefix=,
because both APR and APR-util resolve their installation paths at
configuration time. This means that there is no variable prefix
to replace. [Andreas Hasenack <andreas@netbank.com.br>]
*) AIX 4.3.2 and above: Define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
These levels of AIX don't have a thundering herd problem with
accept(). [Jeff Trawick]
*) prefork MPM: Ignore mutex errors during graceful restart. For
certain types of mutexes (particularly SysV semaphores), we
should expect to occasionally fail to obtain or release the
mutex during restart processing. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix install-bindist.sh so that it finds any perl instead of just
early perl 5.x versions. This is consistent with a build/install
from source, and it allows the perl scripts installed by a bindist
to work on systems with perl 5.6. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix apxs so that the makefile created by "apxs -g" works on AIX and
Tru64 (and probably some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Allow CGI scripts to return their Content-Length. This also fixes a
hang on HEAD requests seen on certain platforms (such as FreeBSD).
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Added log rotation based on file size to the RotateLog support
utility. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Fix some casting in mod_rewrite which broke random maps.

Changes with Apache 2.0.37
*) allow POST method over SSL when per-directory client cert
authentication is used with 'SSLOptions +OptRenegotiate' enabled
and a client cert was found in the ssl session cache.
*) 'SSLOptions +OptRengotiate' will use client cert in from the ssl
session cache when there is no cert chain in the cache. prior to
the fix this situation would result in a FORBIDDEN response and
error message "Cannot find peer certificate chain"

*) Consolidated the command line parameters and attributes that are
manipulated by the optional function ap_cgi_build_command() in
mod_cgi into a single structure.

*) Get rid of uninitialized value errors with "apxs -q" on certain
variables. [Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org>]
*) Fix apxs to allow it to work when the build directory is somewhere
besides server-root/build. PR 8453
[Jeff Trawick and a host of others]
*) Allow ap_discard_request_body to be called multiple times in the
same request. Essentially, ap_http_filter keeps track of whether
it has sent an EOS bucket up the stack, if so, it will only ever
send an EOS bucket for this request.
[Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Greg Stein]
*) Remove all special mod_ssl URIs. This also fixes the bug where
redirecting (.*) will allow an SSL protected page to be viewed
without SSL. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Fix the binary build install script so that the build logic
created by "apxs -g" will work when the user has a binary
build. [Jeff Trawick]
