Alpine: multiple apache2 packages: security update to 2.4.59-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423664

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- Faulty input validation in the core of Apache allows malicious or exploitable backend/content generators
to split HTTP responses. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: through 2.4.58. (CVE-2023-38709)

- HTTP Response splitting in multiple modules in Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker that can inject
malicious response headers into backend applications to cause an HTTP desynchronization attack. Users are
recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.59, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2024-24795)

- HTTP/2 incoming headers exceeding the limit are temporarily buffered in nghttp2 in order to generate an
informative HTTP 413 response. If a client does not stop sending headers, this leads to memory exhaustion.
(CVE-2024-27316)
