VMware Security Advisory - Several flaws were discovered in the way third party library libpng handled uninitialized pointers. An attacker could create a PNG image file in such a way, that when loaded by an application linked to libpng, it could cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code at the privilege level of the user that runs the application. The new version of ACE updates the Apache HTTP Server on Windows hosts to version 2.0.63 which addresses multiple security issues that existed in the previous versions of this server.

An error has been discovered in the recall_headers() function in mod_mem_cache. The mod_cache module does not properly sanitize requests before processing them. The Prefork module does not properly check PID values before sending signals. The mod_proxy module does not correctly check headers before processing them. Versions less than 2.2.6 are affected.
3af714c78881d176cc1b41256f3f354e3c88517f7cc34687fe2d8f0b5a7a9ef6HP Security Bulletin - A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP-UX Apache version 2.0.59. The vulnerability could be exploited remotely to create a Denial of Service (DoS).
83f53cbcbb5bd239258285ffd144889964335f29d3a2eb11c043296369aa97a3Ubuntu Security Notice 499-1 - Stefan Esser discovered that mod_status did not force a character set, which could result in browsers becoming vulnerable to XSS attacks when processing the output. If a user were tricked into viewing server status output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords), within the same domain. By default, mod_status is disabled in Ubuntu. Niklas Edmundsson discovered that the mod_cache module could be made to crash using a specially crafted request. A remote user could use this to cause a denial of service if Apache was configured to use a threaded worker. By default, mod_cache is disabled in Ubuntu. A flaw was discovered in the signal handling of Apache. A local attacker could trick Apache into sending SIGUSR1 to other processes. The vulnerable code was only present in Ubuntu Feisty.
69c2ee81e5ba3748cde201f6e604a87d176a6e5c82bbc5fb13bacec9909aa2a6Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - A vulnerability was discovered in the the Apache mod_status module that could lead to a cross-site scripting attack on sites where the server-status page was publically accessible and ExtendedStatus was enabled. The Apache server also did not verify that a process was an Apache child process before sending it signals. A local attacker with the ability to run scripts on the server could manipulate the scoreboard and cause arbitrary processes to be terminated.

A vulnerability was found in the Apache mod_cache module that could cause the httpd server child process to crash if it was sent a carefully crafted request. This could lead to a denial of service if using a threaded MPM. The Apache server also did not verify that a process was an Apache child process before sending it signals. A local attacker with the ability to run scripts on the server could manipulate the scoreboard and cause arbitrary processes to be terminated.
