A flaw was found in Apache httpd in versions 2.4.32 to 2.4.46. The uwsgi protocol does not serialize more than 16K of HTTP header leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

Mitigation

This flaw only affects specific httpd configurations which use the uwsgi protocol. It does not manifest itself when uwsgi protocol is not used. Commenting out "LoadModule proxy_uwsgi_module modules/mod_proxy_uwsgi.so" in /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-proxy.conf will disable the loading of the vulnerable module.
