Category Security Release Phase Resolved 6644748, 6644749 Date of Workaround Release 28-Feb-2008 Date of Resolved Release 05-May-2008 Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerabilities in the Apache 1.3 and 2.0 "mod_imap" and "mod_status" Modules 1. ImpactTwo security vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache HTTP server which affect the Apache 2.0 web server bundled with Solaris 10 and the Apache 1.3 web server bundled with Solaris 8, Solaris 9 and Solaris 10.The first issue, a Cross Site Scripting (CSS or XSS) vulnerability in the "mod_imap" Apache server module (CVE-2007-5000), may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This may allow the unprivileged user to bypass access control and gain access to unauthorized data. The second issue, a Cross Site Scripting (CSS or XSS) vulnerability in the "mod_status" Apache server module (CVE-2007-6388), may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This may allow the unprivileged user to bypass access control and gain access to unauthorized data. Additional information regarding these issues is available at: The Change Log for Apache 2.0 at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.0
The Change Log for Apache 1.3 at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_1.3 CVE-2007-5000 at http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5000 CVE-2007-6388 at http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6388 2. Contributing FactorsThese issues can occur in the following releases:SPARC Platform
The following command can be run to determine if the Apache 1.3 web server is currently running on the system: $ /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep httpdThe following SMF (smf(5)) command can be used to see if the Solaris 10 bundled Apache 2 web server service is enabled: $ svcs svc:/network/http:apache2Note 2: The mod_imap vulnerability (CVE-2007-5000) only affects systems which make use of the Apache Server Status module mod_imap. To determine if this module is enabled, a command such as the following can be run for all of the configuration files that define the running Apache 1.3 and Apache 2 configuration: $ egrep "imap-file|application/x-httpd-imap" /etc/apache/httpd.conf | grep map $ egrep "imap-file|application/x-httpd-imap" /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | grep mapNote 3: The mod_status vulnerability (CVE-2007-6388) only affects systems which make use of the Apache Server Status module (mod_status). To determine if this module is enabled, a command such as the following can be run for all of the configuration files that define the running Apache 1.3 and Apache 2 configuration: $ grep SetHandler /etc/apache/httpd.conf | grep server-status $ grep SetHandler /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | grep server-status 3. SymptomsThere are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described issues have been exploited on a system.4. WorkaroundTo avoid the mod_imap issue (CVE-2007-5000) from occurring, make sure that there is no activation of map files (see Note 2 in Section 2) in the Apache httpd.conf file.To avoid the mod_status issue (CVE-2007-6388) from occurring, make sure that the "ExtendedStatus" entry in the Apache httpd.conf file is disabled. 5.
