By specially crafting HTTP/2 requests, workers would be allocated 60 seconds longer than necessary, leading to worker exhaustion and a denial of service. Fixed in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.34 (Affected 2.4.18-2.4.30,2.4.33).

This update for apache2 fixes the following issues :

The following security vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2018-1333: Fixed a worker exhaustion that could have     lead to a denial of service via specially crafted HTTP/2     requests (bsc#1101689).

  - CVE-2018-8011: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in     mod_md, which could have lead to a denial of service via     specially crafted HTTP requests (bsc#1101688). Note: We     are currently not shipping this modules, since it is     still considered experimental, but we might start to     ship it with future releases.

An update of the httpd package has been released.

According to its banner, the version of Apache running on the remote host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.34. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

 - By specially crafting HTTP/2 requests, workers would be allocated 60 seconds longer than necessary, leading to worker exhaustion and a denial of service. (CVE-2018-1333)

 - By specially crafting HTTP requests, the mod_md challenge handler would dereference a NULL pointer and cause the child process to segfault. This could be used to DoS the server. (CVE-2018-8011)

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

The Apache project reports :

- DoS for HTTP/2 connections by crafted requests (CVE-2018-1333). By specially crafting HTTP/2 requests, workers would be allocated 60 seconds longer than necessary, leading to worker exhaustion and a denial of service. (low)

- mod_md, DoS via Coredumps on specially crafted requests (CVE-2018-8011). By specially crafting HTTP requests, the mod_md challenge handler would dereference a NULL pointer and cause the child process to segfault. This could be used to DoS the server. (moderate)
