Title:	Apache HTTP Server 2.4.47 NULL Pointer Dereference Vulnerability - Windows
Summary:	Apache HTTP Server is prone to a NULL pointer dereference; vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: Apache HTTP Server is prone to a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: Apache HTTP Server protocol handler for the HTTP/2 protocol checks received request headers against the size limitations as configured for the server and used for the HTTP/1 protocol as well. On violation of these restrictions an HTTP response is sent to the client with a status code indicating why the request was rejected. This rejection response was not fully initialised in the HTTP/2 protocol handler if the offending header was the very first one received or appeared in a footer. This led to a NULL pointer dereference on initialised memory, crashing reliably the child process. Vulnerability Impact: Successful exploitation will allow an attacker to crash the server. Affected Software/OS: Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.47 only. Solution: Update to version 2.4.48 or later. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
