Echo: apache2: security update to 2.4.68-1~deb13u1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459627

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Apache httpd 2.0.59 and 2.2.4, with the Prefork MPM module, allows local users to cause a denial of
service via certain code sequences executed in a worker process that (1) stop request processing by
killing all worker processes and preventing creation of replacements or (2) hang the system by forcing the
master process to fork an arbitrarily large number of worker processes. NOTE: This might be an inherent
design limitation of Apache with respect to worker processes in hosted environments. (CVE-2007-3303)

Solution

Update the apache2 library and its related packages to version 2.4.68-1~deb13u1 or later.
