Where to find security fixes CVE-2013-6438 and CVE-2014-0098 for JBoss EWS 2.0.1 in ZIP distribution?
Resolution
CVEs
-
- Bugzilla-6438
- Definition - httpd: mod_dav denial of service via crafted DAV WRITE request
- This is not shipped by default. Therefore EWS has no impact because EWS has no mod_dav_svn.
-
- Bugzilla-107787
- Definition - httpd: mod_log_config does not properly handle logging certain cookies resulting in DoS
-
As for the applicable problem, a movement module corresponds to both of prefork, worker.This is because the applicable problem is a problem to be inherent in the log_cookie() function that is a function of mod_log_config working as a dynamic module.

Root Cause
-
It was found that the mod_dav module did not correctly strip leading white space from certain elements in a parsed XML. In certain httpd configurations that use the mod_dav module (for example when using the mod_dav_svn module), a remote attacker could send a specially crafted DAV request that would cause the httpd child process to crash or, possibly, allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
"apache" user. (CVE-2013-6438) -
A buffer over-read flaw was found in the httpd mod_log_config module. In configurations where cookie logging is enabled (on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux it is disabled by default), a remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the httpd child process via an HTTP request with a malformed cookie
header. (CVE-2014-0098) -
All httpd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the
updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted automatically.
