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.
