Apache HTTP Server 2.0.65 Released

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the final 2.0 release version 2.0.65 of the Apache HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache will be the last 2.0 bug and security fix release, covering many but not all issues addressed in the stable 2.4 and legacy 2.2 released versions:

CVE-2013-1862: mod_rewrite: Ensure that client data written to the RewriteLog is escaped to prevent terminal escape sequences from entering the log file.
CVE-2012-0053: Fix an issue in error responses that could expose "httpOnly" cookies when no custom ErrorDocument is specified for status code 400.
CVE-2012-0031: Fix scoreboard issue which could allow an unprivileged child process to cause the parent to crash at shutdown rather than terminate cleanly.
CVE-2011-3368: Reject requests where the request-URI does not match the HTTP specification, preventing unexpected expansion of target URLs in some reverse proxy configurations.
CVE-2011-3192: core: Fix handling of byte-range requests to use less memory, to avoid denial of service. If the sum of all ranges in a request is larger than the original file, ignore the ranges and send the complete file.
CVE-2011-3607: Fix integer overflow in ap_pregsub() which, when the mod_setenvif module is enabled, could allow local users to gain privileges via a .htaccess file.
NOTE: it remains possible to exhaust all memory using a carefully crafted .htaccess rule, which will not be addressed in 2.0; enabling processing of .htaccess files authored by untrusted users is the root of such security risks. Upgrade to httpd 2.2.25 or later to limit this specific risk.

The Apache HTTP Project thanks Ramiro Molina, Norman Hippert, halfdog, and Context Information Security Ltd for bringing these issues to the attention of the project security team.

Please see the CHANGES_2.0 file, linked from the above page, for a full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.0.65 provides the complete list of changes since 2.0.64. A summary of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases is available:

This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) release 0.9.20, and APR Utility Library (APR-util) release 0.9.19, bundled with the tar and zip distributions. The APR libraries libapr and libaprutil (and on Win32, libiconv version 0.9.7) must all be updated to ensure binary compatibility and address many known platform bugs.

This release is compatible with modules compiled for 2.0.42 and later versions. The Apache HTTP Project developers strongly encourages all users to migrate to Apache stable release 2.4 or at minimum version the legacy release 2.2 as quickly as possible, as no further maintenance will be performed on this historical version 2.0.
