Debian DLA-240-1 : libapache-mod-jk security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 84062

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An information disclosure flaw due to incorrect JkMount/JkUnmount directives processing was found in the Apache 2 module mod_jk to forward requests from the Apache web server to Tomcat. A JkUnmount rule for a subtree of a previous JkMount rule could be ignored. This could allow a remote attacker to potentially access a private artifact in a tree that would otherwise not be accessible to them.

For the squeeze distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.30-1squeeze2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libapache-mod-jk packages.

This update has been prepared by Markus Koschany.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
