Synopsis

Apache 2.4.x < 2.4.43 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of Apache running on the remote host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.43. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- An uninitialized value vulnerability exists in mod_proxy_ftp. (CVE-2020-1934)

- An open redirect vulnerability exists in mod_rewrite. (CVE-2020-1927)

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 2.4.43 or later.
