  - 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 disclosure of local content. For example, PHP scripts may be
