Description:


   This Apache2 LTSS roll-up update for SUSE Linux Enterprise
   10 SP3 LTSS  fixes the following security issues and bugs:

   * CVE-2012-4557: Denial of Service via special requests
   in mod_proxy_ajp
   * CVE-2012-0883: improper LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling
   * CVE-2012-2687: filename escaping problem
   * CVE-2012-0031: Fixed a scoreboard corruption (shared
   mem segment) by child causes crash of privileged parent
   (invalid free()) during shutdown.
   * CVE-2012-0053: Fixed an issue in error responses that
   could expose "httpOnly" cookies when no custom
   ErrorDocument is specified for status code 400".
   * The SSL configuration template has been adjusted not
   to suggested weak ciphers
   *

   CVE-2007-6750: The "mod_reqtimeout" module was
   backported from Apache 2.2.21 to help mitigate the
   "Slowloris" Denial of Service attack.

   You need to enable the "mod_reqtimeout" module in
   your existing apache configuration to make it effective,
   e.g. in the APACHE_MODULES line in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.

   * CVE-2011-3639, CVE-2011-3368, CVE-2011-4317: This
   update also includes several fixes for a mod_proxy reverse
   exposure via RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch directives.
   * CVE-2011-1473: Fixed the SSL renegotiation DoS by
   disabling renegotiation by default.
   * CVE-2011-3607: Integer overflow in ap_pregsub
   function resulting in a heap based buffer overflow could
   potentially allow local attackers to gain privileges

   Additionally, some non-security bugs have been fixed which
   are listed in  the changelog file.
