Debian DLA-1102-1 : apache2 security update (Optionsbleed)

high Nessus Plugin ID 103389

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Hanno Boeck discovered that incorrect parsing of Limit directives of .htaccess files by the Apache HTTP Server could result in memory disclosure.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.22-13+deb7u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.

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.
