Description

• CVE-2020-1927 (open redirect)

A security issue has been found in Apache HTTP Server from 2.4.0 up to
and including 2.4.41, in the mod_rewrite module, where redirects that
were intended to be self-referential might be fooled by encoded
newlines and redirect instead to an an unexpected URL within the
request URL.
This is the same defect as CVE-2019-10098. The fix for CVE-2019-10098
was ineffective.
Possible mitigations are the use of anchor captures as back-references,
or prefixing self-referential redirects with / or scheme, host, and
port.

• CVE-2020-1934 (information disclosure)

The use of an uninitialized value has been found in Apache HTTP Server
from 2.4.0 up to and including 2.4.41, in the mod_proxy_ftp module,
when proxying to a malicious FTP server.

Impact

A remote attacker is able to cause a redirect via a crafted HTTP
request, or disclose information when proxying to an FTP server.
