Summary
Marc Stern discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled
serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over HTTP/2 connections. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to crash,
resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-36387)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module
incorrectly sent certain request URLs with incorrect encodings to backends.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication.
(CVE-2024-38473)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_rewrite module
incorrectly handled certain substitutions. A remote attacker could possibly
use this issue to execute scripts in directories not directly reachable
by any URL, or cause a denial of service. Some environments may require
using the new UnsafeAllow3F flag to handle unsafe substitutions.
(CVE-2024-38474, CVE-2024-38475, CVE-2024-39573)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled
certain response headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to obtain sensitive information, execute local scripts, or perform SSRF
attacks. (CVE-2024-38476)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module
incorrectly handled certain requests. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-38477)
It was discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain
handlers configured via AddType. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to obtain source code. (CVE-2024-39884)

Vulnerabilities 8
-
Critical 9.1
Apache HTTP Server weakness in mod_rewrite when first segment of substitution matches filesystem path.
Improper escaping of output in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code…

Critical 9.8
Apache HTTP Server may use exploitable/malicious backend application output to run local handlers via internal redirect
Vulnerability in core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier are vulnerably to information disclosure, SSRF or local script execution via backend applications whose response headers are malicious or exploitable. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2…

High 8.1
Apache HTTP Server proxy encoding problem
Encoding problem in mod_proxy in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows request URLs with incorrect encoding to be sent to backend services, potentially bypassing authentication via crafted requests. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, w…
-
High 8.1
Apache HTTP Server weakness with encoded question marks in backreferences
Substitution encoding issue in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows attacker to execute scripts in directories permitted by the configuration but not directly reachable by any URL or source disclosure of scripts meant to only to be exec…

High 7.5
Apache HTTP Server: Crash resulting in Denial of Service in mod_proxy via a malicious request
null pointer dereference in mod_proxy in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to crash the server via a malicious request. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, which fixes this issue.
-
High 7.5CVE-2024-39573 EPSS 35%
Apache HTTP Server: mod_rewrite proxy handler substitution
Potential SSRF in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to cause unsafe RewriteRules to unexpectedly setup URL's to be handled by mod_proxy. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, which fixes this issue.

Medium 6.2
Apache HTTP Server: source code disclosure with handlers configured via AddType
A regression in the core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60 ignores some use of the legacy content-type based configuration of handlers. "AddType" and similar configuration, under some circumstances where files are requested indirectly, result in source code disc…

Medium 5.4
Apache HTTP Server: DoS by Null pointer in websocket over HTTP/2
Serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over a HTTP/2 connection could result in a Null Pointer dereference, leading to a crash of the server process, degrading performance.
