Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apache httpd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.47. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2.4.47 changelog:

 - Unexpected <Location> section matching with 'MergeSlashes OFF' (CVE-2021-30641)

 - mod_auth_digest: possible stack overflow by one nul byte while validating the Digest nonce. (CVE-2020-35452)

 - mod_session: Fix possible crash due to NULL pointer dereference, which could be used to cause a Denial of Service with a malicious backend server and SessionHeader. (CVE-2021-26691)

 - mod_session: Fix possible crash due to NULL pointer dereference, which could be used to cause a Denial of Service.
 (CVE-2021-26690)

 - mod_proxy_wstunnel, mod_proxy_http: Handle Upgradable protocols end-to-end negotiation. (CVE-2019-17567)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
