The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6885-2 advisory.
USN-6885-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server. One of the security fixes introduced a regression when proxying requests to a HTTP/2 server. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Marc Stern discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled
serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over HTTP/2 connections. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to crash,
resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-36387)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module
incorrectly sent certain request URLs with incorrect encodings to backends.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication.
(CVE-2024-38473)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_rewrite module
incorrectly handled certain substitutions. A remote attacker could possibly
use this issue to execute scripts in directories not directly reachable
by any URL, or cause a denial of service. Some environments may require
using the new UnsafeAllow3F flag to handle unsafe substitutions.
(CVE-2024-38474, CVE-2024-38475, CVE-2024-39573)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled
certain response headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to obtain sensitive information, execute local scripts, or perform SSRF
attacks. (CVE-2024-38476)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module
incorrectly handled certain requests. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-38477)
It was discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain
handlers configured via AddType. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to obtain source code. (CVE-2024-39884)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
