FreeBSD : Apache httpd -- Source code disclosure with handlers configured via AddType (088b8b7d-446c-11ef-b611-84a93843eb75)

high Nessus Plugin ID 202615

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 088b8b7d-446c-11ef-b611-84a93843eb75 advisory.

 The Apache httpd project reports:
 source code disclosure with handlers configured via AddType (CVE-2024-40725) (Important): A partial fix for CVE-2024-39884 in the core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.61 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
