Apache 2.4.x < 2.4.61

medium Nessus Plugin ID 201532

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache httpd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.61. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 2.4.61 advisory.

 - Apache HTTP Server: source code disclosure with handlers configured via AddType: A regression in the core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60 ignores some use of the legacy content-type based configuration of handlers.
 AddType and similar configuration, under some circumstances where files are requested indirectly, result in source code disclosure of local content. For example, PHP scripts may be served instead of interpreted.
 Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.61, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2024-39884)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Apache version 2.4.61 or later.
