MDKSA-2003:096 - Updated apache2 packages fix CGI scripting deadlock

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: apache2
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:096
Date: September 26th, 2003
Affected versions: 9.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A problem was discovered in Apache2 where CGI scripts that output more
than 4k of output to STDERR will hang the script's execution which can
cause a Denial of Service on the httpd process because it is waiting
for more input from the CGI that is not forthcoming due to the locked
write() call in mod_cgi.
On systems that use scripts that output more than 4k to STDERR, this
could cause httpd processes to hang and once the maximum connection
limit is reached, Apache will no longer respond to requests.
The updated packages provided use the latest mod_cgi.c from the Apache
2.1 CVS version.
Users may have to restart apache by hand after the upgrade by issuing
a "service httpd restart".
