>
> ----
>
> An exploit was recently reported that allows a malicious user
> to terminate the
> Apache server running on Win32 or OS2.
>
> Depending on the specific OS version, the server would stop
> listening to further
> requests, and prompt the operator that the Apache.exe process
> had performed an
> illegal operation, and would remain hung until the
> administrator cleared the fault.
>
> In all cases the server would not respond until it completed
> its restart, which
> could take one minute or more depending on the server's
> configuration. Any
> replies in process from the server would be terminated.
>
> No other operating systems are effected by the vulnerability.
> We are not aware
> of any exploits of this vulnerability other than the denial
> of service.

> The fixfault_win32_os2-1.3.19.patch file is available from:
>
> http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_1.3.19/
>
> Since many Win32 and OS2 users rely on soley on binary
> releases, the replacement
> for the core binary module file is available in the win32 and
> os2 directories:
>
> http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_1.3.19/win32/
> http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_1.3.19/os2/
>
> Please read the information on those download pages
> carefully, and be sure to back
> up your existing ApacheCore.dll file before replacing it with
> this binary.
>
> Note that users of non-standard distributions, such as the
> Apache-EAPI extensions
> or ApacheSSL-enabled servers _cannot_ use this patched
> binary. Either refer to the
> distributor or vendor of your Apache build for updated
> binaries, or apply the patch
> to the sources, where available, and recompile the server.
>
> Users of older versions of Apache on Win32 and OS2 platforms
> are cautioned to to
> upgrade to 1.3.19 and apply this fix. All Win32 and OS2
> users are strongly encouraged
> to upgrade to 1.3.20 once it is released. A large number of
> Win32 bugs have been
> identified over time, and 1.3.20 will introduce more fixes for Win32.
