   Originally issued: 1 July 2002 
 -----------------------------------------------------------------

The information in the following Security Advisory should be acted
upon as soon as possible.  Hewlett-Packard Company will not be
liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from customer's
failure to fully implement instructions in this Security Advisory as
soon as possible.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM:  A remotely exploitable vulnerability in handling of large
          data chunks in Apache-based web servers.

PLATFORM: HP9000 Servers running HP-UX release 11.00, and 11.11 
          with the HP Apache product installed.
          
DAMAGE:   Increased privilege, DoS or execution of arbitrary code.   

SOLUTION: For HP-UX releases 11.00 and 11.11, download new product 
          bundles from the ftp site below. 

MANUAL ACTIONS: Install repaired binary 

AVAILABILITY: Complete product bundles are available now for 11.00 
              and 11.11 are available for PA-RISC architecture 
              platforms via ftp at hprc.external.hp.com  (see below 
              for account details).

 ------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
    The CERT Advisory CA-2002-17 regarding Apache affects the 
    following HP product numbers:

    B9416AA Apache 2.x   PA-RISC HP-UX releases 11.00 and 11.11 
    B9415AA Apache 1.3.x PA-RISC HP-UX releases 11.00 and 11.11 

    HP Apache 1.3.26 (PA-RISC)
    installs into /opt/apache and /opt/tomcat
    disk space: 55-65 MB
    documents:  /opt/apache/htdocs/doc

    HP Apache 2.0.39 (PA-RISC)
    installs into /opt/hpapache2
    disk space: 80-90 MB
    documents:  /opt/hpapache2/hp_apache_docs

    HP Apache automatically starts upon installation if port 80 
    is available.

    Installation of this new version of HP Apache over an existing
    HP Apache installation is supported, while installation over a
    non-HP Apache is NOT supported.

    An advisory has been issued for HP Compaq systems.  Please
    refer to HP Compaq SSRT2253, which says in part:

      CSWS Secure Web Server for HP Tru64 UNIX and HP OpenVMS
      "Potential Apache Web Server Chunk Handling Vulnerability"
  
      Patches are available for CSWS for HP Tru64 UNIX at:
