"The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the

  - An escalation of privilege bug in various modules in Apache HTTP 2.4.66 and earlier allows local .htaccess
    authors to read files with the privileges of the httpd user. Users are recommended to upgrade to version
    2.4.67, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2026-24072)

  - Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in mod_proxy_ajp of Apache HTTP Server. If mod_proxy_ajp connects
    to a malicious AJP server this AJP server can send a malicious AJP message back to mod_proxy_ajp and cause
    it to write 4 attacker controlled bytes after the end of a heap based buffer. This issue affects Apache
    HTTP Server: through 2.4.66. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes the issue.
    (CVE-2026-28780)

  - A NULL pointer dereference in mod_dav_lock in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 and earlier may allow an attacker
    to crash the server with a malicious request.mod_dav_lock is not used internally by mod_dav or mod_dav_fs.
    The only known use-case for mod_dav_lock was mod_dav_svn from Apache Subversion earlier than version
    1.2.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.66, which fixes this issue, or remove mod_dav_lock.
    (CVE-2026-29169)

  - A timing attack against mod_auth_digest in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 allows a bypass of Digest
    authentication by a remote attacker. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes this
    issue. (CVE-2026-33006)

  - A NULL pointer dereference in the mod_authn_socache in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 and earlier allows an
    unauthenticated remote user to crash a child process in a caching forward proxy configuration. Users are
    recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2026-33007)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
