 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3919-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb October 14, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : libapache-mod-jk Version : 1:1.2.48-1+deb11u2 CVE ID : CVE-2024-46544 Debian Bug : 1082713

 It was discovered that there was a configuration issue in libapache-mod-jk, an Apache web server module used to forward requests from Apache to Tomcat using the AJP protocol.

 An issue with incorrect default permissions could have allowed local users to view and modify shared memory containing mod_jk's configuration, which may have potentially led to information disclosure and/or a denial of service attack.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.48-1+deb11u2.

 We recommend that you upgrade your libapache-mod-jk packages.

 For the detailed security status of libapache-mod-jk please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libapache-mod-jk

Solution
