                       Apache HTTP Server 1.3.33 Released
                    [Apache Announcement HTTP Server 1.3.33]

October 29, 2004 17:00 GMT                                        Number P-025
______________________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM:       Apache HTTP Server 1.3.33 release fixes two potential security 
               issues. 
PLATFORM:      Apache HTTP Server versions prior to 1.3.33 
DAMAGE:        This release fixes a potential buffer overflow with escaped 
               characters in SSI tag string and a heap-based buffer overflow 
               in proxy-util.c for mod_proxy that may allow an attacker to 
               cause a DoS and possibly execute arbitrary code. 
SOLUTION:      Install the update. 
______________________________________________________________________________
VULNERABILITY  The risk is LOW. The Apache user runs as a nonprivileged user 
ASSESSMENT:    by default. Exploiting the vulnerabilities may allow an 
               attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of 
               service.
