The main security vulnerabilities addressed in 1.3.33 are:
* CAN-2004-0940 (cve.mitre.org)
Fix potential buffer overflow with escaped characters in SSI tag string.
* CAN-2004-0492 (cve.mitre.org)
Reject responses from a remote server if sent an invalid
(negative) Content-Length.
New features
* Win32: Improve error reporting after a failed attempt to
spawn a piped log process or rewrite map process.
* Added new compile-time flag: UCN_OFF_HONOR_PHYSICAL_PORT. It
controls how UseCanonicalName Off determines the port value if
the client doesn't provide one in the Host header. If defined
during compilation, UseCanonicalName Off will use the physical
port number to generate the canonical name. If not defined, it
tries the current Port value followed by the default port for
the current scheme.
The following bugs were found in Apache 1.3.31 (or earlier) and
have been fixed in Apache 1.3.33:
* mod_rewrite: Fix query string handling for proxied URLs. PR 14518.
* mod_rewrite: Fix 0 bytes write into random memory position. PR 31036.
* mod_digest: Fix nonce string calculation since 1.3.31 which
would force re-authentication for every connection if
AuthDigestRealmSeed was not configured. PR 30920.
* Fix trivial bug in mod_log_forensic that caused the child to
seg fault when certain invalid requests were fired at it with
forensic logging is enabled. PR 29313.
* No longer breaks mod_dav, frontpage and others. Repair a
patch in 1.3.31 which prevented discarding the request body
for requests that will be keptalive but are not currently
keptalive. PR 29237.
buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
