Apache Chunked Encoding Vulnerability on AIX (RS6000)

From: r00t@online.ie
Date: Tue Aug 13 2002 - 08:10:15 EDT

Hi All,

I am currently pen-testing an AIX platform, which utilises Apache and IBM HTTP
server in order to communicate with a back-end AS400 enviornment.

I have scanned the remote host with the eeye tool Retina - Apache Chunked
scanner V 1,0,3, which reports the host vulnerable.

It would appear the tool attempts to exploit the vulnerability by attempting to
send a small request that makes a vulnerable server to become unresponsive.

Would I be right to say that this vulnerability is not exploitable on an RS6000
platform, given the current exploits in the wild, and the eeye tool is again
producing false positives ????????

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
