Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47252)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate data in log files.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in mod_ssl. In a logging configuration where CustomLog is used with "%{varname}x" or "%{varname}c" to log variables provided by mod_ssl such as SSL_TLS_SNI, no escaping is performed by either mod_log_config or mod_ssl and unsanitized data provided by the client may appear in log files. A remote attacker can manipulate contents of log files.
2) Unchecked return value (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-54571)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient checks of the return value when handling HTTP requests. A remote attacker can override HTTP response Content-Type header and perform XSS attacks or disclose arbitrary script source code.
3) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43204)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in mod_proxy . A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Note, the vulnerability exploitation requires an unlikely configuration where mod_headers is configured to modify the Content-Type request or response header with a value provided in the HTTP request.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-59375)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger large dynamic memory allocations via a small document and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42516)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to software does not correctly process CRLF character sequences. A remote attacker with ability to manipulate the Content-Type response headers of applications hosted or proxied by the server can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.
Note, this vulnerability exists due a missing fix for #VU88151 (CVE-2023-38709).
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41342)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
7) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23048)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to access control bypass with session resumption in mod_ssl. A remote attacker can use the TLS 1.3 session resumption to bypass implemented access control.
Configurations are affected when mod_ssl is configured for multiple virtual hosts, with each restricted to a different set of trusted client certificates (for example with a different SSLCACertificateFile/Path setting). In such a case, a client trusted to access one virtual host may be able to access another virtual host, if SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck is not enabled in either virtual host.
8) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49796)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the xmlSchematronFormatReport() function when processing sch:name elements in schematron.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and crash the application.
9) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-21962)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-in when handling HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the server, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
