=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Red Hat Network Proxy Server version 5.1.1 is now available. This update
includes a fix for a security issue in a Red Hat Network Proxy Server
component.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Network Proxy v 5.1 (RHEL v.4 AS) - i386, s390, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

The Red Hat Network Proxy Server 5.1.1 release corrects a security
vulnerability in a shipped component. In a typical operating environment,
this component is not exposed to users of Proxy Server in a vulnerable
manner. This security update will reduce risk in unique Proxy Server
environments.

A flaw was found in the mod_perl "ModPerl::RegistryCooker" class. If a
server implemented a mod_perl registry module using the
"namespace_from_uri" method, a remote attacker requesting a carefully
crafted URI can cause resource consumption, which could lead to a denial of
service. (CVE-2007-1349)

Users of Red Hat Network Proxy Server 5.1 are advised to upgrade to 5.1.1,
which resolves this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
