The version of httpd24 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.58-1.101. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1877 advisory.

  - Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in mod_macro of Apache HTTP Server.This issue affects Apache HTTP Server:
    through 2.4.57. (CVE-2023-31122)

  - An attacker, opening a HTTP/2 connection with an initial window size of 0, was able to block handling of     that connection indefinitely in Apache HTTP Server. This could be used to exhaust worker resources in the     server, similar to the well known slow loris attack pattern. This has been fixed in version 2.4.58, so     that such connection are terminated properly after the configured connection timeout. This issue affects     Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.55 through 2.4.57. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which     fixes the issue. (CVE-2023-43622)

  - When a HTTP/2 stream was reset (RST frame) by a client, there was a time window were the request's memory     resources were not reclaimed immediately. Instead, de-allocation was deferred to connection close. A     client could send new requests and resets, keeping the connection busy and open and causing the memory     footprint to keep on growing. On connection close, all resources were reclaimed, but the process might run     out of memory before that. This was found by the reporter during testing of CVE-2023-44487 (HTTP/2 Rapid     Reset Exploit) with their own test client. During normal HTTP/2 use, the probability to hit this bug is     very low. The kept memory would not become noticeable before the connection closes or times out. Users are     recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2023-45802)
