For Immediate Disclosure

=============== SUMMARY ================

    Title: Apache 2.0 vulnerability affects non-Unix platforms
     Date: 9th August 2002
 Revision: 2

Product Name: Apache HTTP server 2.0
OS/Platform: Windows, OS2, Netware
Permanent URL: http://httpd.apache.org/info/security_bulletin_20020809a.txt
Vendor Name: Apache Software Foundation
Vendor URL: http://httpd.apache.org/
Affects: All Released versions of 2.0 through 2.0.39
Fixed in: 2.0.40
Identifiers: CAN-2002-0661

=============== DESCRIPTION ================

Apache is a powerful, full-featured, efficient, and freely-available Web
server. On the 7th August 2002, The Apache Software Foundation was
notified of the discovery of a significant vulnerability, identified by
Auriemma Luigi <[email protected]>.

This vulnerability has the potential to allow an attacker to inflict
serious damage to a server, and reveal sensitive data. This vulnerability
affects default installations of the Apache web server.

Unix and other variant platforms appear unaffected. Cygwin users are
likely to be affected.

=============== SOLUTION ================

A simple one line workaround in the httpd.conf file will close the
vulnerability. Prior to the first 'Alias' or 'Redirect' directive, add
the following directive to the global server configuration:

RedirectMatch 400 "\\\.\."

Fixes for this vulnerability are also included in Apache HTTP server
version 2.0.40. The 2.0.40 release also contains fixes for two minor
path-revealing exposures. This release of Apache is available at
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/

More information will be made available by the Apache Software
Foundation and Auriemma Luigi <[email protected]> in the
coming weeks.
