Debian DLA-3580-1 : libapache-mod-jk - LTS security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 181836

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3580 advisory.

- The mod_jk component of Apache Tomcat Connectors in some circumstances, such as when a configuration included JkOptions +ForwardDirectories but the configuration did not provide explicit mounts for all possible proxied requests, mod_jk would use an implicit mapping and map the request to the first defined worker. Such an implicit mapping could result in the unintended exposure of the status worker and/or bypass security constraints configured in httpd. As of JK 1.2.49, the implicit mapping functionality has been removed and all mappings must now be via explicit configuration. Only mod_jk is affected by this issue. The ISAPI redirector is not affected. This issue affects Apache Tomcat Connectors (mod_jk only):
from 1.2.0 through 1.2.48. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.2.49, which fixes the issue.
(CVE-2023-41081)

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

Solution

Upgrade the libapache-mod-jk packages.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1
