| DoS Holes Plugged in Apache HTTP Server |
|---|
The Apache Software Foundation on Monday released a new version of its open-source Web server project to plug four potentially serious security holes.
The latest update to the Apache 2.0 HTTP Server (version 2.0.47) is described as a security and bug fix release to plug holes that could lead to denial-of-service attacks (define).
The Foundation warned that the SSLCipherSuite directive being used to upgrade from a weak ciphersuite to a strong one could result in the weak ciphersuite being used in place of the strong one. The previous Apache HTTP Server version also contains a bug in the prefork MPM where certain errors returned by accept() on rarely accessed ports could cause temporal DoS.
