[ NNSquad ] Security flaw in Apache could allow attackers into internal networks
Security flaw in Apache could allow attackers into internal networks http://j.mp/tan4sv (ars technica) "A newly discovered flaw in Apache web servers could allow attackers to use servers configured as "reverse proxies" to gain access to or attack systems hidden from public view. The bug in Apache's reverse proxy mode only affects servers that have been configured incorrectly, but that error isn't an obvious one, since it doesn't interfere with normal operations. The flaw could be used by attackers to reach Web-enabled resources on other servers connected to the same network as the proxy." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com
