Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU94504
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40725
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing legacy content-type based configuration of handlers, such as "AddType" and similar configuration when files are requested indirectly. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and view contents of files, for example the source code of a PHP script can be served instead of interpreted.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU93729 (CVE-2024-39884).
