Changes with Apache 2.0.63
*) winnt_mpm: Resolve modperl issues by redirecting console mode stdout
to /Device/Nul as the server is starting up, mirroring unix MPM's.
PR: 43534 [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>, William Rowe]
*) winnt_mpm: Restore Win32DisableAcceptEx On directive and Win9x platform
by recreating the bucket allocator each time the trans pool is cleared.
PR: 11427 #16 (follow-on) [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]
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]
*) Introduce the ProxyFtpDirCharset directive, allowing the administrator
to identify a default, or specific servers or paths which list their
contents in other-than ISO-8859-1 charset (e.g. utf-8). [Ruediger Pluem]
*) log.c: Ensure Win32 resurrects its lost robust logger processes.
[William Rowe]
*) mpm_winnt: Eliminate wait_for_many_objects. Allows the clean
shutdown of the server when the MaxClients is higher then 257,
in a more responsive manner [Mladen Turk, William Rowe]
*) Add explicit charset to the output of various modules to work around
possible cross-site scripting flaws affecting web browsers that do not
derive the response character set as required by RFC2616. One of these
reported by SecurityReason [Joe Orton]
*) http_protocol: Escape request method in 405 error reporting.
This has no security impact since the browser cannot be tricked
into sending arbitrary method strings. [Jeff Trawick]
*) http_protocol: Escape request method in 413 error reporting.
Determined to be not generally exploitable, but a flaw in any case.

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.
and to support the "inet6" option instead.
Remaining usage of USE_INET6 was solely for the benefit of the scripts
that generate the README.html files. Replace:
BUILD_DEFS+= USE_INET6
with
BUILD_DEFS+= IPV6_READY
and teach the README-generation tools to look for that instead.
This nukes USE_INET6 from pkgsrc proper. We leave a tiny bit of code
to continue to support USE_INET6 for pkgsrc-wip until it has been nuked
from there as well.
the owner of all installed files is a non-root user. This change
affects most packages that require special users or groups by making
them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead.
(1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to
unprivileged.mk. These two variables are lists of other bmake
variables that define package-specific users and groups. Packages
that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache
and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP},
etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS
so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER}
and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}.
(2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.
Update to 1.2.8 (formerly in devel/apr1), no longer build from the
httpd distfile.

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.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib

Xrender
renderproto
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).
Change behaviour of APACHE_MODULES and DFLT_APACHE_MODULES
If you do not define APACHE_MODULES this change will not impact you, the
default behaviour of the package modules has not been changed.
The new functionality is as follows:
1) If you need to add an additional module to be installed with apache
you would use:
APACHE_MODULES+= spelling
This would include mod_spelling as a static module in addition to the
default modules installed.
2) If you need a highly customised version of apache and would like to
explicitly list which modules are installed by default you would use:
APACHE_MODULES= spelling access auth include env autoindex
This would install _only_ the listed modules as static modules with
apache.
If you use APACHE_MODULES= please read the apache documentation at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/
To determine which modules you will need to install to get the level
of functionality you require. By default when using APACHE_MODULES=
apache only includes with the following static modules:
core.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_so.c
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
