Category:Web Servers
Title:Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0 - 2.4.55 HTTP Request Smuggling Vulnerability - Linux
Summary:Apache HTTP Server is prone to a HTTP request smuggling; vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Apache HTTP Server is prone to a HTTP request smuggling
vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
Some mod_proxy configurations allow a HTTP Request Smuggling
attack.

Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is enabled along with some form of RewriteRule or
ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches some portion of the user-supplied
request-target (URL) data and is then re-inserted into the proxied request-target using variable
substitution.

Vulnerability Impact:
Request splitting/smuggling could result in bypass of access
controls in the proxy server, proxying unintended URLs to existing origin servers, and cache
poisoning.

Affected Software/OS:
Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.55.

Solution:
Update to version 2.4.56 or later.

CVSS Score:
