discovered in version 1.3.26 including these security fixes:
- SECURITY: CAN-2002-0840 (cve.mitre.org)
Prevent a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the default
error page. The issue could only be exploited if the directive
UseCanonicalName is set to Off and a server is being run at
a domain that allows wildcard DNS. [Matthew Murphy]
- SECURITY CAN-2002-0843 (cve.mitre.org)
Fix some possible overflows in ab.c that could be exploited by
a malicious server. Reported by David Wagner. [Jim Jagielski]
- SECURITY CAN-2002-0839 (cve.mitre.org)
Add the new directive 'ShmemUIDisUser'. By default, Apache
will no longer set the uid/gid of SysV shared memory scoreboard
to User/Group, and it will therefore stay the uid/gid of
the parent Apache process. This is actually the way it should
be, however, some implementations may still require this, which
can be enabled by 'ShmemUIDisUser On'. Reported by iDefense.

buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the

framework.
bump PKGREVISION.
Changes with mod_ssl 2.8.10 (19-Jun-2002 to 24-Jun-2002)
*) Fixed off-by-one buffer overflow bug in the compatibility
functionality (mapping of old directives to new ones).
*) Fixed memory leak in processing of CA certificates.
*) In case there is actually a certificate chain in the session cache,
we now use the value of SSL_get_peer_certificate(ssl) to verify as
it will have been removed from the chain before it was put in the
cache.
*) Seed the PRNG with a maximum of 1K from the internal scoreboard.
Custom mod_ssl eapi patch used for now, since update of mod_ssl for 1.3.26
isn't available yet.
This fixes the CAN-2002-0392 (mitre.org) [CERT VU#944335] security
issue. For full list of changes, see

Relevant changes from version 1.3.23 include:
* Prevent invalid client hostnames from appearing in the log file.
* Various mod_proxy improvements, such as the new ProxyIOBufferSize
directive.
* The new ''IgnoreCase' keyword to the IndexOptions directive.
* mod_rewrite's 'rnd' was broken and has been fixed.
* The '-S' option of 'apxs' was not able to handle quotes; also 'apxs'
is now rebuilt when options are changed.
* proxy now correctly handles Cookies and X-Cache headers.
* Fixed a problem in TPF when we were using the wrong subpool when
opening the error log.
* pthread accept() mutexes on Solaris were broken (since we were
not linking against pthread)
the EAPI patches from modssl-2.8.7-1.3.23. Also, link against the MM
Shared Memory library (devel/libmm) to provide shared memory support in
Apache/EAPI. For example, this allows mod_ssl to use a high-performance
RAM-based session cache instead of a disk-based one.
The main new features in 1.3.23 (compared to 1.3.22) are:
* HTTP/1.1 support for mod_proxy.
* Other mod_proxy improvements.
* The new 'FileETag' directive to allow one to build the
format of the ETag via runtime directives.
* Addition of a 'filter callback' function to enable modules to
intercept the output byte stream for dynamic page caching.
The following bugs were found in Apache 1.3.22 and have been fixed in
Apache 1.3.23:
* Fix incorrect "Content-Length" header in the 416 response.
* Revert mod_negotation's handling of path_info and query_args
to the 1.3.20 behavior (PRs: 8628, 8582, 8538).
* Prevent an Apache module from being loaded or added twice due
to duplicate LoadModule or AddModule directives.
from source instead of installing from a binary package (problem noted in
private email by George Coulouris <george@coulouris.org>. Also move the
ownership of SSL-related config directories to the www/ap-ssl package.
apxs are now installed with "${INSTALL} -c -o ${LIBOWN} -g ${LIBGRP}",
which should do the right thing regardless of the platform. ${INSTALL} is
replaced with the full path to the install program used by pkgsrc, which
should be /usr/bin/install on NetBSD, and /usr/ucb/install on Solaris.
This should fix pkg/14232 by Pierre Bourgin.
using the pkgsrc expat library instead of the builtin one (this is to
avoid conflicts between expat libraries when an expat XML parser is loaded
by either mod_perl or mod_php), and:
Security vulnerabilities
* A vulnerability was found in the split-logfile support program. A
request with a specially crafted Host: header could allow any file
with a .log extension on the system to be written to.
* A vulnerability was found when Multiviews are used to negotiate
the directory index. In some configurations, requesting a URI with
a QUERY_STRING of M=D could return a directory listing rather than
the expected index page.
General bug fixes and improvements
* Bug fixes
* The supplied icons are now also distributed in PNG format
* New directives have been added to the mod_usertrack module, The
first, CookieDomain, can be used to customise the Domain
attribute.
* A new directive, AcceptMutex, allows run-time configuration of the
mutex type used for accept serialization.
* mod_auth has been enhanced to allow access to a document to be
controlled based on the owner of the file being served.
* A new directive, AcceptFilter, has been added to control BSD
accept filters at run-time. The functionality can postpone the
requirement for a child process to handle a new connection until
an HTTP request has arrived, therefore increasing the number of
connections that a given number of child processes can handle
On NetBSD, we need to link libgcc.a whole-archive so that certain symbols
from the C++ implementation (__get_eh_context, etc.) referenced by DSOs
written in C++ will resolve correctly. This makes php4-sablot work with
mod_php4.so (from ap-php4) on ELF platforms when loaded by Apache's httpd.
NetBSD Packages Collection (pkgsrc) changes:
* Modify French page in same way as the English page. Translation
provided by Remi Zara <remi_zara@mac.com> in private e-mail.
* Use EAPI patches from mod_ssl-2.8.4-1.3.20.
* Unify repeated SED replacement info for config.layout, apache.sh,
DEINSTALL, and INSTALL into one location, FILES_SUBST.
* Modify patch to apxs to use 0:0 instead of root:wheel, as some
non-NetBSD systems don't have a wheel group.
The general bug fixes:
* Eliminate a potential segfault if an invalid floating point value
is passed to the ap_snprintf() function, on platforms supporting
isnan() and isinf().
* Fix a possible segfault at startup in the detection of a default
ServerName or IP string when no ServerName was specified.
* Fixed mod_proxy to retain empty headers, as allowed by RFC2068.
* Properly resolve the location of ndbm on Linux and some glibc2
builds, where ndbm.h is in the nonstandard db1/ subdir.
The main new features include:
* Enhanced rotatelogs to allow a UTC offset to be specified, and
the format logfile names with human-readable date/time stamps.
* Added the NOESCAPE (NS) flag to RewriteRule, to disable *all*
normal URI escaping. Note incautious use can give unexpected
results or introduce security risks.
* Added the '\' character to RewriteRule to allow escaping of
special characters. Allows embedding of both the '$' and '%'
characters in the results, so 'foo\$1' translates to 'foo$1'
rather than 'foo\<value of $1>'.
* Added the -V flag to suexec, to display the compile-time settings
with which it was built. (Only valid for root or the HTTPD_USER
username.)
* Introduced EBCDIC conversion configuration options, controlling the
conversion based on MIME type or file suffix.
the updated EAPI patches from mod_ssl-2.8.3-1.3.19 which includes the
following fix:
*) Fixed EAPI context usage in http_request.c: a context pointer
potentially can be NULL requests and can cause a segfault if
dereferenced.
