Several vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache HTTPD server.
CVE-2012-3499
The modules mod_info, mod_status, mod_imagemap, mod_ldap, and
mod_proxy_ftp did not properly escape hostnames and URIs in
HTML output, causing cross site scripting vulnerabilities.

Mod_proxy_balancer did not properly escape hostnames and URIs
in its balancer-manager interface, causing a cross site scripting
vulnerability.
CVE-2013-1048
Hayawardh Vijayakumar noticed that the apache2ctl script created
the lock directory in an unsafe manner, allowing a local attacker
to gain elevated privileges via a symlink attack. This is a Debian
specific issue.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.2.16-6+squeeze11.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed in
version 2.2.22-13.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed in
version 2.2.22-13.
We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
