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.
- Write message to error log if AuthGroupFile cannot be opened.
Apache#37566.
- Add ReceiveBufferSize directive to control the TCP receive buffer.
- mod_cache: Fix 'Vary: *' behavior to be RFC compliant. Apache#16125.
- Remove the base href tag from proxy_ftp, as it breaks relative
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
- Chunk filter: Fix chunk filter to create correct chunks in the case that
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).
for revisions for a single package. I don't think this "suexec"
PKGREVISION was meant for the apr package, but since it was used
it is now there.
I noticed this problem when building wip/apachebench2 which has
nothing to do with suexec. Although, I did not make this change
for pkgsrc-wip's wip/apachebench2 since this is a work in progress.
*) 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.
*) Unix MPMs: Shut down the server more quickly when child processes are
slow to exit.
*) Remove formatting characters from ap_log_error() calls. These
were escaped as fallout from CAN-2003-0020.
*) mod_ssl: If SSLUsername is used, set r->user earlier.
*) htdigest: Fix permissions of created files.
*) core_input_filter: Move buckets to a persistent brigade instead of
creating a new brigade. This stop a memory leak when proxying a
Streaming Media Server.
*) mod_win32: Ignore both PATH_INFO as well as PATH_TRANSLATED to avoid
hiccups from additional path information passed in non-utf-8 format.
- Fix --with-apr=/usr and/or --with-apr-util=/usr. Problem report 29740.
[Max Bowsher <maxb ukf.net>]
- mod_proxy: Fix ProxyRemoteMatch directive. Problem report 33170.
[Rici Lake <rici ricilake.net>]
- mod_proxy: Respect errors reported by pre_connection hooks.
[Jeff Trawick]
- --with-module can now take more than one module to be statically
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]
- mod_auth_ldap: Handle the inconsistent way in which the MS LDAP
library handles special characters. Problem report 24437.
[Jess Holle]
- Win32 MPM: Correct typo in debugging output. [William Rowe]

apr_off_t is larger than apr_size_t.
Problem report 28898. [Joe Orton]
- mod_include: Fix bug which could truncate variable expansions
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
[Ryan Morgan <rmorgan pobox.com>]
- SECURITY: CAN-2004-0942 (cve.mitre.org)
Fix for memory consumption DoS in handling of MIME folded request
headers. [Joe Orton]
- SECURITY: CAN-2004-0885 (cve.mitre.org)

bypassed during an SSL renegotiation. Problem report 31505.
[Hartmut Keil <Hartmut.Keil adnovum.ch>, Joe Orton]
- mod_ssl: Fail at startup rather than segfault at runtime if a
client cert is configured with an encrypted private key.
Problem report 24030. [Joe Orton]
- apxs: fix handling of -Wc/-Wl and "-o mod_foo.so".
Problem report 31448 [Joe Orton]
- mod_ldap: Fix format strings to use %APR_PID_T_FMT instead of %d.
[Jeff Trawick]
- mod_cache: CacheDisable will only disable the URLs it was meant to
disable, not all caching. Problem report 31128.
[Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, Paul Querna]
- mod_cache: Try to correctly follow RFC 2616 13.3 on validating stale
cache responses. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- mod_rewrite: Handle per-location rules when r->filename is unset.
Previously this would segfault or simply not match as expected,
depending on the platform. [Jeff Trawick]
- mod_rewrite: Fix 0 bytes write into random memory position.
Problem report 31036. [André Malo]
- mod_disk_cache: Do not store aborted content. Problem report 21492.
[Rüdiger Plüm <r.pluem t-online.de>]
- mod_disk_cache: Correctly store cached content type.
Problem report 30278.
[Rüdiger Plüm <r.pluem t-online.de>]
- mod_ldap: prevent the possiblity of an infinite loop in the LDAP
statistics display. Problem report 29216. [Graham Leggett]
- mod_ldap: fix a bogus error message to tell the user which file
is causing a potential problem with the LDAP shared memory cache.
Problem report 31431 [Graham Leggett]

- Fix Expires handling in mod_cache. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- Alter mod_expires to run at a different filter priority to allow
proper Expires storage by mod_cache. [Justin Erenkrantz]
Also added comment to www/apache2/Makefile.common to remind to
update checksum in devel/apr also.
No actual devel/apr changes seen.
Also removed www/apache2/patches/patch-ab because it is identical to
fix for security in new version.
Changes with Apache 2.0.52
*) Use HTML 2.0 <hr> for error pages. PR 30732 [André Malo]
*) Fix the global mutex crash when the global mutex is never allocated

off. [Jess Holle <jessh ptc.com>]
*) SECURITY: CAN-2004-0811 (cve.mitre.org)
Fix merging of the Satisfy directive, which was applied to
the surrounding context and could allow access despite configured
authentication. PR 31315. [Rici Lake <rici ricilake.net>]
*) Fix the handling of URIs containing %2F when AllowEncodedSlashes
is enabled. Previously, such urls would still be rejected.

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]

*) Ensure that lines in the request which are too long are
properly terminated before logging.

[Kris Verbeeck <kris.verbeeck@advalvas.be>, Nicel KM <mnicel@yahoo.com>]
*) Eliminate creation of a temporary table in ap_get_mime_headers_core()
[Joe Schaefer <joe+gmane@sunstarsys.com>]
*) Added FreeBSD directory layout. PR 21100.
[Sander Holthaus <info@orangexl.com>, André Malo]
*) Fix NULL-pointer issue in ab when parsing an incomplete or non-HTTP
response. PR 21085. [Glenn Nielsen <glenn@apache.org>, André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Perform child initialization on the rewrite log lock.
This fixes a log corruption issue when flock-based serialization
is used (e.g., FreeBSD). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Don't respect the Server header field as set by modules and CGIs.
As with 1.3, for proxy requests any such field is from the origin
server; otherwise it will have our server info as controlled by
the ServerTokens directive. [Jeff Trawick]
Changes with Apache 2.0.47
*) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0192]: Fixed a bug whereby certain sequences
of per-directory renegotiations and the SSLCipherSuite directive
being used to upgrade from a weak ciphersuite to a strong one
could result in the weak ciphersuite being used in place of the
strong one. [Ben Laurie]
*) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0253]: Fixed a bug in prefork MPM causing
temporary denial of service when accept() on a rarely accessed port
returns certain errors. Reported by Saheed Akhtar
<S.Akhtar@talis.com>. [Jeff Trawick]
*) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0254]: Fixed a bug in ftp proxy causing denial
of service when target host is IPv6 but proxy server can't create
IPv6 socket. Fixed by the reporter. [Yoshioka Tsuneo
<tsuneo.yoshioka@f-secure.com>]
*) SECURITY [VU#379828] Prevent the server from crashing when entering
infinite loops. The new LimitInternalRecursion directive configures
limits of subsequent internal redirects and nested subrequests, after
which the request will be aborted. PR 19753 (and probably others).
[William Rowe, Jeff Trawick, André Malo]
*) core_output_filter: don't split the brigade after a FLUSH bucket if
it's the last bucket. This prevents creating unneccessary empty
brigades which may not be destroyed until the end of a keepalive
connection.
[Juan Rivera <Juan.Rivera@citrix.com>]
*) Add support for "streamy" PROPFIND responses.
[Ben Collins-Sussman <sussman@collab.net>]
*) mod_cgid: Eliminate a double-close of a socket. This resolves
various operational problems in a threaded MPM, since on the
second attempt to close the socket, the same descriptor was
often already in use by another thread for another purpose.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_negotiation: Introduce "prefer-language" environment variable,
which allows to influence the negotiation process on request basis
to prefer a certain language. [André Malo]
*) Make mod_expires' ExpiresByType work properly, including for
dynamically-generated documents. [Ken Coar, Bill Stoddard]
