  • 1.  Please update httpd > httpd-2.4.55

    Posted Wed January 25, 2023 02:51 PM
    Tenable is reporting these vulnerabilities in IBM httpd-2.4.54, please update to 2.4.55

    The version of Apache httpd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.55.
    It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2.4.55 advisory.

    - A carefully crafted If: request header can cause a memory read, or write of a single zero byte, in a pool (heap) memory location beyond the header value sent. This could cause the process to crash. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.54 and earlier.(CVE-2006-20001)
    - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling') vulnerability in mod_proxy_ajp of Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker to smuggle requests to the AJP server it forwards requests to. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server Apache HTTP Server 2.4 version 2.4.54 and prior versions.(CVE-2022-36760)
    - Prior to Apache HTTP Server 2.4.55, a malicious backend can cause the response headers to be truncated early, resulting in some headers being incorporated into the response body. If the later headers have any security purpose, they will not be interpreted by the client. (CVE-2022-37436)

    If it's not too much to ask, compile mod_ssl using openssl-1.1.2.1202. Thank you very much

    The httpd release 2.4.54-3 ( mod_ssl is part of it ) in Toolbox for quite sometime is already built using openssl 1.1.2. 
    Do you see any problem with that release ?

    Ayappan P, you are right , i made a mistake keeping both openssl-1.1.2.1202 and openssl-1.0.2u-1.ppc together, so the httpd wasnt starting. I removed openssl-1.0.2u-1.ppc e now httpd 2.4.54-3 works fine. Thank you.

    I appreciate the httpd 2.4.55 update. After I updated our Apache though it broke our MariaDB installation. What we have is MariaDB 10.5.9 when BullFreeware was serving packages. Now we're getting the below after a successful httpd update : 

    mysql -v

    Could not load program mariadb:

    Symbol resolution failed for mariadb because:

            Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libz_so (number 259) is not exported from dependent

              module /opt/freeware/lib/libz.a[libz.so.1].

            Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libz_so (number 260) is not exported from dependent

              module /opt/freeware/lib/libz.a[libz.so.1].

    Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.

    I had to revert to the previous Apache version and supporting rpm's to get MariaDB to work again. 

    We have installed :

    mariadb-10.5.9-1.ppc

    mariadb-common-10.5.9-1.ppc

    mariadb-connector-c-3.2.4-1.ppc

    mariadb-connector-c-devel-3.2.4-1.ppc

    mariadb-devel-10.5.9-1.ppc

    mariadb-errmsg-10.5.9-1.ppc

    mariadb-server-10.5.9-1.ppc

    mariadb-server-utils-10.5.9-1.ppc

    mod_ssl-2.4.54-3.ppc

    mysql-config-1.0-3.noarch

    openldap-2.4.59-1.ppc

    expat-2.5.0-1.ppc

    httpd-2.4.54-3.ppc

    libiconv-1.16-5.ppc

    xz-5.2.5-1.ppc

    xz-libs-5.2.5-1.ppc

    zlib-1.2.11-5.ppc

    Thanks guys for httpd version 2.4.55, I installed it in my environment and everything is OK. But I have a question, can I update my OpenSSL to version openssl-3.0.7.1000? Is mod_ssl compatible?

    openssl 3.0.7.1000 also ships "*.so.1.1" inside its library archive. So applications linking to *.so.1.1 will still work.
