-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-18686 2013-10-09 23:31:37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : mod_fcgid Product : Fedora 18 Version : 2.3.9 Release : 1.fc18 URL : http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/ Summary : FastCGI interface module for Apache 2 Description : mod_fcgid is a binary-compatible alternative to the Apache module mod_fastcgi. mod_fcgid has a new process management strategy, which concentrates on reducing the number of fastcgi servers, and kicking out corrupt fastcgi servers as soon as possible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Current upstream maintenance release, including a security fix for a possible heap buffer overwrite issue (CVE-2013-4365). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Oct 8 2013 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> 2.3.9-1 - Update to 2.3.9 - SECURITY: Fix possible heap buffer overwrite (CVE-2013-4365) - Add experimental cmake-based build system for Windows - Correctly parse quotation and escaped spaces in FcgidWrapper and the AAA Authenticator/Authorizor/Access directives' command line argument, as currently documented (PR#51194) - Honor quoted FcgidCmdOptions arguments (notably for InitialEnv assignments) (PR#51657) - Conform script response parsing with mod_cgid and ensure no response body is sent when ap_meets_conditions() determines that request conditions are met - Improve logging in access control hook functions - Avoid making internal sub-requests and processing Location headers when in FCGI_AUTHORIZER mode, as the auth hook functions already treat Location headers returned by scripts as an error since redirections are not meaningful in this mode - Revert fix for PR#53693, added in 2.3.8 but undocumented - Fix issues with a minor optimization added in 2.3.8 * Sat Aug 3 2013 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> 2.3.7-7 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_Mass_Rebuild * Thu Feb 14 2013 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> 2.3.7-6 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1017039 - CVE-2013-4365 mod_fcgid: heap overflow https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1017039 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
