Important: mod_http2 security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Published Sep 15, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2020

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2020-9490: Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43. A specially crafted value for the 'Cache-Digest' header in a HTTP/2 request would result in a crash when the server actually tries to HTTP/2 PUSH a resource afterwards. Configuring the HTTP/2 feature via "H2Push off" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers. 1866560: CVE-2020-9490 httpd: Push diary crash on specifically crafted HTTP/2 header CVE-2020-11993: Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43 When trace/debug was enabled for the HTTP/2 module and on certain traffic edge patterns, logging statements were made on the wrong connection, causing concurrent use of memory pools. Configuring the LogLevel of mod_http2 above "info" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers. 1866564: CVE-2020-11993 httpd: mod_http2 concurrent pool usage
