Summary
USN-5487-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server.
Unfortunately it caused regressions. USN-5487-2 reverted the
patches that caused the regression in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM for further
investigation. This update re-adds the security fixes for Ubuntu
14.04 ESM and fixes two different regressions: one affecting mod_proxy
only in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and another in mod_sed affecting also Ubuntu 16.04 ESM
and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy_ajp incorrectly handled
certain crafted request. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
perform an HTTP Request Smuggling attack. (CVE-2022-26377)

Vulnerabilities 7
-
Critical 9.1
Read beyond bounds in ap_strcmp_match()
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may crash or disclose information due to a read beyond bounds in ap_strcmp_match() when provided with an extremely large input buffer. While no code distributed with the server can be coerced into such a call, third-party…

mod_proxy_ajp: Possible request smuggling
Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling') vulnerability in mod_proxy_ajp of Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker to smuggle requests to the AJP server it forwards requests to. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server Apache HTTP Se…
-
Unscored —
read beyond bounds via ap_rwrite()
The ap_rwrite() function in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may read unintended memory if an attacker can cause the server to reflect very large input using ap_rwrite() or ap_rputs(), such as with mod_luas r:puts() function. Modules compiled and distrib…
-
Unscored —
Denial of service in mod_lua r:parsebody
In Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier, a malicious request to a lua script that calls r:parsebody(0) may cause a denial of service due to no default limit on possible input size.
-
Unscored —CVE-2022-30522 EPSS 90%
mod_sed denial of service
If Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 is configured to do transformations with mod_sed in contexts where the input to mod_sed may be very large, mod_sed may make excessively large memory allocations and trigger an abort.
-
Unscored —
Information Disclosure in mod_lua with websockets
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may return lengths to applications calling r:wsread() that point past the end of the storage allocated for the buffer.
-
Unscored —CVE-2022-31813 Public exploit
mod_proxy X-Forwarded-For dropped by hop-by-hop mechanism
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may not send the X-Forwarded-* headers to the origin server based on client side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism. This may be used to bypass IP based authentication on the origin server/application.
