RHSA-2001:126

Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2001-12-04 22:29 - Updated: 2025-11-21 17:24
Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated apache packages available
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: Updated Apache packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7, 7.1, and 7.2. These packages upgrade the Apache Web server to version 1.3.22, which closes a potential security bug which would present clients with a listing of the contents of a directory instead of the contents of an index file, or in case of an error, the error message.
Details: By using a carefully constructed HTTP request, a server with mod_negotiation and either mod_dir or mod_autoindex loaded could be tricked into displaying a listing of the contents of a directory, despite the presence of an index file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2001-0730, and CAN-2001-0731 to these issues.
