DLA-1900-2 apache2 -- LTS security update

Date Reported:
30 Sep 2019
Affected Packages:
apache2
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 941202.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2019-10092.
More information:

The update of apache2 released as DLA-1900-1 contained an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-10092, a limited cross-site scripting issue affecting the mod_proxy error page. The old patch rather introduced a new CSRF protection which also caused a regression, an inability to dynamically change the status of members in the balancer via the balancer-manager. This update reverts the change and provides the correct upstream patch to address CVE-2019-10092.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.10-10+deb8u16.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
