Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-47252

high Nessus Plugin ID 248948

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- Insufficient escaping of user-supplied data in mod_ssl in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.63 and earlier 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-2024-47252)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
