Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3401-1 [email protected]

Package : apache2
Version : 2.4.38-3+deb10u10
CVE ID : CVE-2023-25690 CVE-2023-27522
Debian Bug : 1032476
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in apache2,
a webserver that may be used as front-end proxy for other applications.
These vulnerabilities may lead to HTTP request smuggling, and thus
to front-end security controls being bypassed.
Unfortunately, fixing these security vulnerabilities may require
changes to configuration files. Some out-of-specification
RewriteRule directives that were previously silently accepted,
are now rejected with error AH10409. For instance, some RewriteRules
that included a back-reference and the flags [L,NC] will need to
be written with extra escaping flags such as [B= ?,BNP,QSA].
CVE-2023-25690
Some mod_proxy configurations allow an HTTP request Smuggling
attack. Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is
enabled along with some form of RewriteRule
or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches
some portion of the user-supplied request-target (URL)
data and is then re-inserted into the proxied request-target
using variable substitution.
CVE-2023-27522
HTTP Response Smuggling in mod_proxy_uwsgi
For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
2.4.38-3+deb10u10.
We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
For the detailed security status of apache2 please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/apache2

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
