Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47252)
CWE-ID: CWE-116 - Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate data in log files.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in mod_ssl. In a logging configuration where CustomLog is used with "%{varname}x" or "%{varname}c" to log variables provided by mod_ssl such as SSL_TLS_SNI, no escaping is performed by either mod_log_config or mod_ssl and unsanitized data provided by the client may appear in log files. A remote attacker can manipulate contents of log files.
2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23048)
CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to access control bypass with session resumption in mod_ssl. A remote attacker can use the TLS 1.3 session resumption to bypass implemented access control.
Configurations are affected when mod_ssl is configured for multiple virtual hosts, with each restricted to a different set of trusted client certificates (for example with a different SSLCACertificateFile/Path setting). In such a case, a client trusted to access one virtual host may be able to access another virtual host, if SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck is not enabled in either virtual host.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49630)
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in mod_proxy_http2. A remote attacker can send specially crafted requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the reverse proxy is configured for an HTTP/2 backend, with ProxyPreserveHost set to "on".
