CVE-2014-8111

Apache Tomcat Connectors (mod_jk) before 1.2.41 ignores JkUnmount rules for subtrees of previous JkMount rules, which allows remote attackers to access otherwise restricted artifacts via unspecified vectors.

Apache Tomcat Connectors (mod_jk) before 1.2.41 ignores JkUnmount rules for subtrees of previous JkMount rules, which allows remote attackers to access otherwise restricted artifacts via unspecified vectors.

An information disclosure flaw due to incorrect JkMount/JkUnmount directives processing was found in the Apache 2 module mod_jk to forward requests from the Apache web server to Tomcat. A JkUnmount rule for a subtree of a previous JkMount rule could be ignored. This could allow a remote attacker to potentially access a private artifact in a tree that would otherwise not be accessible to them (CVE-2014-8111).

These are all security issues fixed in the apache2-mod_jk-1.2.41-1.5 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The Apache2 webserver was updated to fix several issues:

Security issues fixed:

• The chunked transfer coding implementation in the Apache HTTP Server did not properly parse chunk headers, which allowed remote attackers to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks via a crafted request, related to mishandling of large chunk-size values and invalid chunk-extension characters in modules/http/http_filters.c. [bsc#938728, CVE-2015-3183]
• The LOGJAM security issue was addressed by: [bnc#931723 CVE-2015-4000]
  • changing the SSLCipherSuite cipherstring to disable export cipher suites and deploy Ephemeral Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) ciphers.
  • Adjust 'gensslcert' script to generate a strong and unique Diffie Hellman Group and append it to the server certificate file.
• The ap_some_auth_required function in server/request.c in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x did not consider that a Require directive may be associated with an authorization setting rather than an authentication setting, which allowed remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging the presence of a module that relies on the 2.2 API behavior. [bnc#938723 bnc#939516 CVE-2015-3185]
• Tomcat mod_jk information leak due to incorrect JkMount/JkUnmount directives processing [bnc#927845 CVE-2014-8111]

Other bugs fixed:

• Now provides a suse_maintenance_mmn_# [bnc#915666].
• Hardcoded modules in the %files [bnc#444878].
• Fixed the IfModule directive around SSLSessionCache [bnc#911159].
• allow only TCP ports in Yast2 firewall files [bnc#931002]
• fixed a regression when some LDAP searches or comparisons might be done with the wrong credentials when a backend connection is reused [bnc#930228]
• Fixed split-logfile2 script [bnc#869790]
• remove the changed MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER_MINOR from which confuses modules the way that they expect functionality that our apache does not provide [bnc#915666]
• gensslcert: CN now defaults to hostname -f [bnc#949766], fix help [bnc#949771]

This update for apache2-mod_jk fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2018-11759: Fixed connector path traversal due to mishandled HTTP requests in httpd (bsc#1114612).
• CVE-2014-8111: Apache Tomcat Connectors (mod_jk) ignored JkUnmount rules for subtrees of previous JkMount rules, which allowed remote attackers to access otherwise restricted artifacts via unspecified vectors (bsc#927845).
