Apache HTTP Server 2.2.25 Released The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 2.2.25 of the Apache HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is principally a security and bug fix legacy release, including the following security fixes:
* SECURITY: CVE-2013-1896 (cve.mitre.org) mod_dav: Sending a MERGE request against a URI handled by mod_dav_svn with the source href (sent as part of the request body as XML) pointing to a URI that is not configured for DAV will trigger a segfault. * SECURITY: CVE-2013-1862 (cve.mitre.org) mod_rewrite: Ensure that client data written to the RewriteLog is escaped to prevent terminal escape sequences from entering the log file. The Apache HTTP Project thanks Ben Riser and Ramiro Molina for bringing these issues to the attention of the project security team. Errata: the build is known to fail against OpenSSL when that library is built to provide no SSLv2 support whatsoever. The following patch will successfully build httpd 2.2.25 against such OpenSSL installations: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1501712 We consider the Apache HTTP Server 2.4 release to be the best version of Apache available, and encourage users of 2.2 and all prior versions to upgrade. This 2.2 legacy release is offered for those unable to upgrade at this time. For further details, see: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.4.txt Apache HTTP Server 2.4 and 2.2.25 are available for download from: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi Please see the CHANGES_2.2 file, linked from the download page, for a full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.2.25 includes only those changes introduced since the prior 2.2 release. A summary of all of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases is available: http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.8 and APR Utility Library (APR-util) version 1.5.2, bundled with the tar and zip distributions. The APR libraries libapr and libaprutil (and on Win32, libapriconv version 1.2.1) must all be updated to ensure binary compatibility and address many known security and platform bugs. APR-util version 1.5 represents a minor version upgrade from earlier httpd 2.2 source distributions. This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.0 API and is superceeded by the Apache 2.4 API. Modules written for Apache 2.0 or 2.4 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache 2.2, and most will require minimal or no source code changes. When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.
