Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in mod_autoindex.c in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.6, when the charset on a server-generated page is not defined, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the P parameter using the UTF-7 charset. NOTE: it could be argued that this issue is due to a design limitation of browsers that attempt to perform automatic content type detection.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2008:0008 :

Updated Apache httpd packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Apache HTTP Server is a popular Web server.

A flaw was found in the mod_imagemap module. On sites where mod_imagemap was enabled and an imagemap file was publicly available, a cross-site scripting attack was possible. (CVE-2007-5000)

A flaw was found in the mod_autoindex module. On sites where directory listings are used, and the 'AddDefaultCharset' directive has been removed from the configuration, a cross-site scripting attack might have been possible against Web browsers which do not correctly derive the response character set following the rules in RFC 2616.
(CVE-2007-4465)

A flaw was found in the mod_status module. On sites where mod_status was enabled and the status pages were publicly available, a cross-site scripting attack was possible. (CVE-2007-6388)

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_balancer module. On sites where mod_proxy_balancer was enabled, a cross-site scripting attack against an authorized user was possible. (CVE-2007-6421)

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_balancer module. On sites where mod_proxy_balancer was enabled, an authorized user could send a carefully crafted request that would cause the Apache child process handling that request to crash. This could lead to a denial of service if using a threaded Multi-Processing Module. (CVE-2007-6422)

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_ftp module. On sites where mod_proxy_ftp was enabled and a forward proxy was configured, a cross-site scripting attack was possible against Web browsers which do not correctly derive the response character set following the rules in RFC 2616. (CVE-2008-0005)

Users of Apache httpd should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. Users should restart httpd after installing this update.

It was discovered that Apache did not sanitize the Expect header from an HTTP request when it is reflected back in an error message, which could result in browsers becoming vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks when processing the output. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords), within the same domain. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 6.06. (CVE-2006-3918)

It was discovered that when configured as a proxy server and using a threaded MPM, Apache did not properly sanitize its input. A remote attacker could send Apache crafted date headers and cause a denial of service via application crash. By default, mod_proxy is disabled in Ubuntu. (CVE-2007-3847)

It was discovered that mod_autoindex did not force a character set, which could result in browsers becoming vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks when processing the output. (CVE-2007-4465)

It was discovered that mod_status when status pages were available, allowed for cross-site scripting attacks. By default, mod_status is disabled in Ubuntu. (CVE-2007-6388)

It was discovered that mod_proxy_balancer did not sanitize its input, which could result in browsers becoming vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks when processing the output. By default, mod_proxy_balancer is disabled in Ubuntu. This was only vulnerable in Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10. (CVE-2007-6421)

It was discovered that mod_proxy_balancer could be made to dereference a NULL pointer. A remote attacker could send a crafted request and cause a denial of service via application crash.

Several bugs were fixed in the Apache2 webserver :

These include the following security issues :

  - mod_status: Fix a possible XSS attack against a site     with a public server-status page and ExtendedStatus     enabled, for browsers which perform charset 'detection'.
    (CVE-2006-5752)

  - mod_cache: Prevent a segmentation fault if attributes     are listed in a Cache-Control header without any value.
    (CVE-2007-1863)

  - prefork, worker, event MPMs: Ensure that the parent     process cannot be forced to kill processes outside its     process group. (CVE-2007-3304)

  - mod_proxy: Prevent reading past the end of a buffer when     parsing date-related headers. PR 41144. (CVE-2007-3847)

  - mod_autoindex: Add in ContentType and Charset options to     IndexOptions directive. This allows the admin to     explicitly set the content-type and charset of the     generated page. (CVE-2007-4465)

and the following non-security issues :

  - get_module_list: replace loadmodule.conf atomically

  - Use File::Temp to create good tmpdir in logresolve.pl2     (httpd-2.x.x-logresolve.patchs)

A flaw in the Apache mod_proxy module was found that could potentially lead to a denial of service is using a threaded Multi-Processing Module. On sites where a reverse proxy is configured, a remote attacker could send a special reequest that would cause the Apache child process handling the request to crash. Likewise, a similar crash could occur on sites with a forward proxy configured if a user could be persuaded to visit a malicious site using the proxy (CVE-2007-3847).

A flaw in the Apache mod_autoindex module was found. On sites where directory listings are used and the AddDefaultCharset directive was removed from the configuration, a cross-site-scripting attack could be possible against browsers that to not correctly derive the response character set according to the rules in RGC 2616 (CVE-2007-4465).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-06 (Apache: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been discovered in     mod_status and mod_autoindex (CVE-2006-5752, CVE-2007-4465). An error     has been discovered in the recall_headers() function in mod_mem_cache     (CVE-2007-1862). The mod_cache module does not properly sanitize     requests before processing them (CVE-2007-1863). The Prefork module     does not properly check PID values before sending signals     (CVE-2007-3304). The mod_proxy module does not correctly check headers     before processing them (CVE-2007-3847).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could exploit one of these vulnerabilities to inject     arbitrary script or HTML content, obtain sensitive information or cause     a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update includes the latest stable release of the Apache HTTP Server.

A flaw was found in the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module. On sites where a reverse proxy is configured, a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted request that would cause the Apache child process handling that request to crash. On sites where a forward proxy is configured, an attacker could cause a similar crash if a user could be persuaded to visit a malicious site using the proxy. This could lead to a denial of service if using a threaded Multi-Processing Module.
(CVE-2007-3847)

A flaw was found in the mod_autoindex module. On sites where directory listings are used, and the AddDefaultCharset directive has been removed from the configuration, a cross-site-scripting attack may be possible against browsers which do not correctly derive the response character set following the rules in RFC 2616. (CVE-2007-4465)

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

According to its banner, the version of Apache 2.2.x running on the remote host is prior to 2.2.6. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability in mod_proxy. 
  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability in mod_status.
  - A local denial of service vulnerability associated with     the Prefork MPM module.
  - An information leak in mod_cache.
  - A denial of service vulnerability in mod_cache.

In addition, it offers a workaround for a cross-site scripting issue in mod_autoindex. 

Note that the remote web server may not actually be affected by these vulnerabilities. Nessus did not try to determine whether any of the affected modules are in use on the remote server or to check for the issues themselves.
