SB2026051581 - openEuler 24.03 LTS SP3 update for httpd

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-24072)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in various Apache HTTP Server modules when evaluating ap_expr from .htaccess files. A local user can create a crafted .htaccess expression to disclose sensitive information.

The issue affects local .htaccess authors and allows reading files with the privileges of the httpd user.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-28780)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow in mod_proxy_ajp ajp_msg_check_header() when processing AJP messages from a backend server. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted AJP message to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.

The malicious AJP server can cause 4 attacker-controlled bytes to be written past the end of a heap-based buffer.

3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-29168)

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling in mod_md when processing OCSP response data. A remote attacker can provide crafted OCSP response data to cause a denial of service.

4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-29169)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference in mod_dav_lock when handling requests. A remote attacker can send a malicious request to cause a denial of service.

mod_dav_lock is not used internally by mod_dav or mod_dav_fs, and the only known use-case mentioned is mod_dav_svn earlier than version 1.2.0.

5) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33006)

CWE-ID: CWE-208 - Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass Digest authentication.

The vulnerability exists due to a timing side-channel in mod_auth_digest when processing Digest authentication. A remote attacker can perform a timing attack to bypass Digest authentication.

6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-34059)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a heap over-read in mod_proxy_ajp ajp_parse_data() when processing AJP messages from a backend server. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted AJP message to disclose sensitive information.

Exploitation requires Apache HTTP Server to connect to an untrusted or compromised AJP backend server.
