Improper Null Termination, Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: through 2.4.66. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes the issue.

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-0c87f546f8 advisory.

    - new version 2.4.67



Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

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 banner, the version of Apache running on the remote host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.67. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A Double Free and possible Remote Code Execution vulnerability exists in Apache HTTP Server when using the HTTP/2 protocol. (CVE-2026-23918)

- Local .htaccess authors can read files with the privileges of the httpd user through an elevation of privileges via ap_expr in mod_rewrite. (CVE-2026-24072)

- A heap-based buffer overflow exists in mod_proxy_ajp via ajp_msg_check_header(). A malicious AJP server can send a malicious AJP message causing 4 attacker-controlled bytes to be written after the end of a heap buffer. (CVE-2026-28780)

- Unrestricted OCSP response data handling in mod_md allows allocation of resources without limits or throttling. (CVE-2026-29168)

- A NULL pointer dereference in mod_dav_lock may allow denial of service with malicious requests. (CVE-2026-29169)

- A timing attack against mod_auth_digest allows bypass of Digest authentication by a remote attacker. (CVE-2026-33006)

- A NULL pointer dereference in mod_authn_socache allows an unauthenticated remote user to crash a child process in a caching forward proxy configuration. (CVE-2026-33007)

- An HTTP response splitting vulnerability exists in multiple modules when untrusted or compromised backend servers forward malicious status lines. (CVE-2026-33523)

- An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in mod_proxy_ajp getter functions. (CVE-2026-33857)

- A heap buffer over-read due to missing null-termination check exists in ajp_msg_get_string() in mod_proxy_ajp. (CVE-2026-34032)

- A heap over-read and memory disclosure vulnerability exists in ajp_parse_data() in mod_proxy_ajp. (CVE-2026-34059)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Apache HTTP server,     which may result in remote code execution, privilege escalation, denial     of service or information disclosure.

    An erratum was issued because DLA??4571??1 incorrectly marked CVE??2026??28780     and CVE??2026??29168 as not fixed.

    These two vulnerabilities are in fact addressed in version 2.4.67??1~deb11u1,     which includes the required security fixes.

    Additionally, CVE??2026??23918 was marked as not affecting Bullseye, as the     vulnerable code is not present in any previously released Bullseye packages.
    However, the updated package includes the fix for this issue as well,     even though it does not impact this release.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2.4.67-1~deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.

  - Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in mod_proxy_ajp of Apache HTTP Server. If mod_proxy_ajp connects     to a malicious AJP server this AJP server can send a malicious AJP message back to mod_proxy_ajp and cause     it to write 4 attacker controlled bytes after the end of a heap based buffer. This issue affects Apache     HTTP Server: through 2.4.66. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes the issue.

  - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server's mod_md via OCSP     response data. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.30 through 2.4.66. Users are recommended to     upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-29168)

  - A NULL pointer dereference in mod_dav_lock in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 and earlier may allow an attacker     to crash the server with a malicious request.mod_dav_lock is not used internally by mod_dav or mod_dav_fs.
    The only known use-case for mod_dav_lock was mod_dav_svn from Apache Subversion earlier than version     1.2.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.66, which fixes this issue, or remove mod_dav_lock.
