SECURITY RATING

The cPanel Security Team has rated this update has having critical security impact.

Information on security ratings is available at: http://go.cpanel.net/securitylevels. You are strongly encouraged to run EasyApache and update your Apache installation at your earliest convenience.

DETAIL

- From CVE-2013-1862: "It was found that mod_rewrite did not filter terminal escape sequences from its log file. If mod_rewrite was configured with the RewriteLog directive, a remote attacker could use specially-crafted HTTP requests to inject terminal escape sequences into the mod_rewrite log file. If a victim viewed the log file with a terminal emulator, it could result in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of that user."
