apache http server
code execution
source code disclosure
mod rewrite
unsafeprefixstat
server context

Improper escaping of output in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and
earlier allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that
areย permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly
reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution or source code
disclosure.
Substitutions inย server context that use a backreferences or variables as
the first segment of the substitution are affected.ย  Some unsafe
RewiteRules will be broken by this change and the rewrite flag
โ€œUnsafePrefixStatโ€ can be used to opt back in once ensuring the
substitution is appropriately constrained.
