A bug in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.64 results in all "RewriteCond expr ..." tests evaluating as "true". Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.65, which fixes the issue.

An update of the httpd package has been released.

The versions of HTTP Server installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the April 2026 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle HTTP Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). Supported     versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle HTTP Server. While the     vulnerability is in Oracle HTTP Server, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope     change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or     modification access to critical data or all Oracle HTTP Server accessible data as well as unauthorized     access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle HTTP Server accessible data. (CVE-2026-34291)

  - Apache HTTP Server 2.4.65 and earlier with Server Side Includes (SSI) enabled and mod_cgid (but not mod_cgi)     passes the shell-escaped query string to #exec cmd=... directives. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server     before 2.4.66. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.66, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-58098)

  - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Apache HTTP Server on Windows allows to potentially leak NTLM hashes     to a malicious server via mod_rewrite or apache expressions that pass unvalidated request input. This issue     affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.0 through 2.4.63. Note: The Apache HTTP Server Project will be setting     a higher bar for accepting vulnerability reports regarding SSRF via UNC paths. The server offers limited     protection against administrators directing the server to open UNC paths. Windows servers should limit the     hosts they will connect over via SMB based on the nature of NTLM authentication. (CVE-2024-43394)

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

According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Security Center running on the remote host prior or equal to 6.7.2 and missing relevant patches. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2026-06 advisory.

  - In PHP versions:8.1.* before 8.1.34, 8.2.* before 8.2.30, 8.3.* before 8.3.29, 8.4.* before 8.4.16, 8.5.*     before 8.5.1, a heap buffer overflow occurs in array_merge() when the total element count of packed arrays     exceeds 32-bit limits or HT_MAX_SIZE, due to an integer overflow in the precomputation of element counts     using zend_hash_num_elements(). This may lead to memory corruption or crashes and affect the integrity and     availability of the target server. (CVE-2025-14178)

  - In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.34, 8.2.* before 8.2.30, 8.3.* before 8.3.29, 8.4.* before 8.4.16, 8.5.*     before 8.5.1 when using the PDO PostgreSQL driver with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES enabled, an invalid     character sequence (such as \x99) in a prepared statement parameter may cause the quoting function     PQescapeStringConn to return NULL, leading to a null pointer dereference in pdo_parse_params() function.
    This may lead to crashes (segmentation fault) and affect the availability of the target server.
    (CVE-2025-14180)

  - When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer, and that transfer performs a cross-protocol     redirect to a second URL that uses an IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP scheme, curl might wrongly pass on the     bearer token to the new target host. (CVE-2025-14524)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been addressed in Apache,     a widely used web server.

    Please note that the fix for CVE-2025-23048, included in this DLA,     may cause some SSL-enabled websites to encounter the error AH02032.
    Additional details are provided at the end of this advisory.

    CVE-2024-42516

        HTTP response splitting in the core of Apache HTTP Server allows an         attacker who can manipulate the Content-Type response headers of         applications hosted or proxied by the server can split the HTTP response

    CVE-2024-43204

        A SSRF (Server Side Request Forgery) was found in Apache HTTP Server         with mod_proxy loaded allows an attacker to         send outbound proxy requests to a URL controlled by the attacker.
        This attack 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

    CVE-2024-43394

        A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Apache HTTP Server on Windows         allows to potentially leak NTLM hashes to a malicious server via  mod_rewrite         or apache expressions that pass unvalidated request input.

    CVE-2024-47252

        Insufficient escaping of user-supplied data in mod_ssl allows an untrusted         SSL/TLS client to insert escape characters into log files in some         configurations. 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.

    CVE-2025-23048

        An access control bypass by trusted clients is possible using TLS 1.3         session resumption. 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.

    CVE-2025-49630

        In certain proxy configurations, a denial of service attack against         Apache HTTP Server can be triggered by untrusted clients causing         an assertion in mod_proxy_http2. Configurations affected are a         reverse proxy is configured for an HTTP/2 backend, with         ProxyPreserveHost set to on.

    CVE-2025-49812

        In some mod_ssl configurations on Apache HTTP server, an HTTP         desynchronisation attack allows a man-in-the-middle attacker         to hijack an HTTP session via a TLS upgrade. Only configurations         using SSLEngine optional to enable TLS upgrades are affected.
        Support for TLS upgrade was removed.

    CVE-2025-53020

        A late Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability         was found in Apache HTTP Server.

    CVE-2025-54090

        A bug in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.64 results in all         RewriteCond expr ... tests evaluating as true

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2.4.65-1~deb11u1.

    Note that following the resolution of CVE-2025-23048,     some SSL-enabled websites may begin encountering     the error (AH02032):

        Misdirected Request:
        The client needs a new connection for this request as the         requested host name does not match the Server Name Indication         (SNI) in use for this connection.

    This behavior is particularly noticeable with AWS Application     Load Balancers. Although they support intelligent SNI handling,     they do not (as of this writing) relay SNI data to the target     server, resulting in failed connections when hostnames don??t align.

    Without an SNI provided by the client, there is nothing httpd     can do to determine which vhost/configuration should be     used to provide the correct certificate (and TLS authentication     eventually) whenever multiple vhosts listen on the same IP:port.

    That's because reading the HTTP Host header necessarily has to     happen after the TLS handshake/auth/decryption (and later     renegotiation is not an option with TLSv1.3).

    So those connections fall back to the first vhost declared on     the IP:port for the TLS handshake part, and if the request     Host header finally matches a different vhost with a different     TLS configuration it's rejected with AH02032.

    Before 2.4.64 the check was not accurate and would allow that,     with security implications.

    As a workaround, you may (after a risk analysis) generate a     wildcard certificate. If you??re managing multiple domains,     consolidate them into a single certificate by including each     wildcard domain as an alias. Then, update the Apache configuration     to reference this unified certificate.

    Another possible workaround is to configure each virtual host to     listen on a separate port. This approach avoids SNI-related issues     by ensuring that each vhost is uniquely addressed through its own     connection endpoint, thereby allowing distinct TLS configurations     without ambiguity.

    This error may also stem from a misconfigured HAProxy setup.
    In such cases, enabling dynamic SNI handling on HAProxy might be     necessary to ensure that the correct hostname is passed through     during the TLS handshake. After risk analysis, it could be done     by using sni req.hdr(Host) directive.

    We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
