Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: mod_ssl
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:054
Date: June 1st, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the ssl_util_uuencode_binary function in ssl_engine_kernel.c in mod_ssl for Apache 1.3.x. When mod_ssl is configured to trust the issuing CA, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code via a client certificate with a long subject DN.

The provided packages are patched to prevent this problem.
