                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory

________________________________________________________________________



Package name: mod_perl

Date: September 11th, 2000

Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:046



Affected versions: 6.1, 7.0, 7.1

________________________________________________________________________



Problem Description:



 The configuration file, /etc/httpd/conf/addon-modules/mod_perl.conf

 contained an Options directive that was not entirely secure and allowed

 people to browse the /perl/ directory.  This update adds the "-Indexes"

 directive to the Options command, thus making the directory non-

 browseable.

________________________________________________________________________



Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to

ensure the integrity of the downloaded package.  You can do this by

running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using

"md5sum package.rpm".



Linux-Mandrake 6.1:

fc1f74202f7ac2b8984e35d8e2011556  6.1/RPMS/mod_perl-1.21-17mdk.i586.rpm

c5b62af27bf05b36623afe79b620b152  6.1/SRPMS/mod_perl-1.21-17mdk.src.rpm



Linux-Mandrake 7.0:

55be0b0f1fcbd81529fd7f99b3931eb2  7.0/RPMS/mod_perl-1.21-21mdk.i586.rpm

5c39ca33d985e8a2984a730e9f971c82  7.0/SRPMS/mod_perl-1.21-21mdk.src.rpm



Linux-Mandrake 7.1:

________________________________________________________________________



To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».  



If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one 

of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name".  



You can download the updates directly from:

  http://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates

  http://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates



Or try one of the other mirrors listed at:



  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.  



Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.  

For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for

Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/RPMS/".  Updated source

RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download

them.



Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to 

update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two 

above-listed mirrors.
