Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2002-0839, CVE-2002-0840, CVE-2002-0843
Vulnerability Scope:     global (not OpenPKG specific)

Attack Feasibility:      run-time
Attack Vector:           remote network
Attack Impact:           denial of service

Description:
    According to the Apache HTTP Server Project [1][2], there are
    several remotely exploitable vulnerabilities which could allow an
    attacker to enact a denial of service against a server.
    
    1. CVE-2002-0839 [3]: A vulnerability exists on platforms using System
    V shared memory based scoreboards. This vulnerability allows an
    attacker who can execute under the Apache UID to exploit the Apache
    shared memory scoreboard format and send a signal to any process as
    root or cause a local denial of service attack.
    
    2. CVE-2002-0840 [4]: Apache is susceptible to a cross site scripting
    vulnerability in the default 404 page of any web server hosted on a
    domain that allows wildcard DNS lookups.
    
    3. CVE-2002-0843 [5]: There were some possible overflows in the
    utility ApacheBench (ab) which could be exploited by a malicious
    server.
