Original advisory details:

Marc Stern discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled
serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over HTTP/2 connections. A remote

resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-36387)

incorrectly sent certain request URLs with incorrect encodings to backends.

by any URL, or cause a denial of service. Some environments may require
using the new UnsafeAllow3F flag to handle unsafe substitutions.
