Original advisory details:

 Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled
 validating certain input. A remote attacker could possibly use this
 issue to perform HTTP request splitting attacks. (CVE-2023-38709)

 Keran Mu and Jianjun Chen discovered that the Apache HTTP Server
 incorrectly handled validating certain input. A remote attacker could
 possibly use this issue to perform HTTP request splitting attacks.
 (CVE-2024-24795)

 Bartek Nowotarski discovered that the Apache HTTP Server HTTP/2 module
 incorrectly handled endless continuation frames. A remote attacker could
 possibly use this issue to cause the server to consume resources, leading
