Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS : Apache HTTP Server regression (USN-5487-3)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 162515

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5487-3 advisory.

 USN-5487-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server. Unfortunately it caused regressions.
 USN-5487-2 reverted the patches that caused the regression in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM for further investigation.
 This update re-adds the security fixes for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and fixes two different regressions: one affecting mod_proxy only in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and another in mod_sed affecting also Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

 We apologize for the inconvenience.
