1. Topic:

Updated Secure Web Server packages are now available for users of Secure Web Server 3.2.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Secure Web Server 3.2 - i386

3. Problem description:

Security bugs in versions of Apache prior to 1.3.14 also affect Secure Web Server. A new release which incorporates 1.3.14 is now available.

4. Solution:

Some of these files are distributed in rhmask format and may only be used by individuals who have purchased Red Hat Linux 6.2 Professional.

To produce installable RPM files from the rhmask files, retrieve the rhmask files via ftp and type the following:

rhmask secureweb-3.2-12.i386.rpm secureweb-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm.rhmask

The original RPM is located only on your Secure Web Server CD, and cannot be obtained via the Internet. Note: if you do not have the original RPM located in the same directory as the rhmask file, you will need to prefix the name of the RPM with the full path name to its location (i.e. on your installation CD).

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM package.

To restart your Secure Web Server, type the following:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd restart

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

14147 - The conf directive "SSLOptions +StdEnvVars" for mod_ssl will cause every request to seg fault.

6. RPMs required:

Red Hat Secure Web Server 3.2:

i386:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/secureweb/3.2/i386/secureweb-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm.rhmask
ftp://updates.redhat.com/secureweb/3.2/i386/secureweb-devel-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm
ftp://updates.redhat.com/secureweb/3.2/i386/secureweb-manual-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm

sources:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/secureweb/3.2/SRPMS/secureweb-3.2.2-4.nosrc.rpm

7. Verification:

MD5 sum                           Package Name

a533394b1954f9993b6dcce7469b52bd 3.2/SRPMS/secureweb-3.2.2-4.nosrc.rpm
49053e9a8e79abc362fcc1d3be4d3d88 3.2/i386/secureweb-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm.rhmask
d1002f61eef8a77373735ebb60d2d57c 3.2/i386/secureweb-devel-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm
67e1be0a09f2555e145441a9327d9be6 3.2/i386/secureweb-manual-3.2.2-4.i386.rpm

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm --checksig <filename>

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
