Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU94504

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 5.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40725

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The 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).

Mitigation

Update the affected package apache2 to the latest version.
