<http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/index.html> BUG #17206

IMPACT: Potential information leak and Denial of Service

PLATFORM: HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11, and B.11.22 running the
hpuxwsAPACHE HP-UX Apache-based Web Server

from <http://www.software.hp.com/>.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
**REVISED 02**
A. Background

AFFECTED VERSIONS

Note: To determine if a system has an affected version,
search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
for an affected fileset. Then determine if the
recommended patch or update is installed.

For IPv4:
HP-UX B.11.00
HP-UX B.11.11
HP-UX B.11.22
=============
hpuxwsAPACHE

--> action: install revision A.1.0.03.01 or subsequent

For IPv6:
HP-UX B.11.11
=============
hpuxwsAPACHE,revision=B.1.0.00.01
--> action: install revision B.1.0.07.01 or subsequent

END AFFECTED VERSIONS


B. Recommended solution
The Apache Software Foundation has released Apache 2.0.45 as
the best known version that fixes the problems identified in
the above mentioned issues. HP has incorporated Apache 2.0.45
into the HP apache-based web server versions mentioned in
Section A, above. These products are available from
<http://www.software.hp.com>.

Check for Apache Installation
-----------------------------
To determine if the Apache web server from HP is installed on
your system, use Software Distributor's swlist command. All
three versions products may co-exist on a single system.

For example, the results of the command
swlist -l product | grep -i apache

hpuxwsAPACHE A.1.0.01.01 HP-UX Apache-based Web Server

Stop Apache
-----------------------------
Before updating, make sure to stop any previous Apache binary.
Otherwise, the previous binary will continue running,
preventing the new one from starting, although the
installation would be successful.

After determining which Apache is installed, stop Apache with
the following command:

for hpuxwsAPACHE: /opt/hpws/apache/bin/apachectl stop

Download and Install Apache
-----------------------------
- Download Apache from Software Depot:
<http://www.software.hp.com>
- Verify successful download by comparing the cksum with the
value specified on the installation web page.
- Use SD to swinstall the depot.

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.

Removing Apache Installation
----------------------------
If you prefer to remove Apache from your system instead of
installing a newer version to resolve the security problem,
use both Software Distributor's "swremove" command and also
"rm -rf" the home location as specified in the rc.config.d file
"HOME" variables.

To find the files containing HOME variables in the
/etc/rc.config.d directory:

%ls /etc/rc.config.d | grep apache
apacheconf
hpapache2conf
hpws_apacheconf
