Synopsis

Apache 2.4.x < 2.4.56 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of Apache running on the remote host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.56. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Some mod_proxy configurations allow a HTTP Request Smuggling attack. (CVE-2023-25690)

 - HTTP Response Smuggling vulnerability via mod_proxy_uwsgi. (CVE-2023-27522)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache version 2.4.56 or later.
