Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Apache, the worst of which
could lead to a Denial of Service condition.

Background
==========

The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
Internet.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache. Please review
the CVE identifiers, upstream Apache Software Foundation documentation,
and HTTPoxy website referenced below for details.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition via
multiple vectors or response splitting and cache pollution.
Additionally, an attacker could intercept unsecured (HTTP)
transmissions via the HTTPoxy vulnerability.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/apache-2.4.25"
