MiracleLinux 7 : httpd-2.4.6-40.4.0.1.el7.AXS7 (AXSA:2016-568:02)

high Nessus Plugin ID 289460

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2016-568:02 advisory.

 The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2016-5387
 ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be provided.
 Fixed bugs:
 * In a caching proxy configuration, the mod_cache module would treat content as stale if the Expires header changed when refreshing a cached response. As a consequence, an origin server returning content without a fixed Expires header would not be treated as cacheable. The mod_cache module has been fixed to ignore changes in the Expires header when refreshing content. As a result, such content is now cacheable, improving performance and reducing load at the origin server.
 * The HTTP status code 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons was not usable in the httpd configuration. As a consequence, modules such as mod_rewrite could not be configured to return a 451 error if required for legal purposes. The 451 status code has been added to the list of available error codes, and modules can now be configured to return a 451 error if required.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
