Description

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2024-8720:05 advisory.

 * CVE-2024-40725: modules: source code disclosure with handlers configured via AddType. Resolving regression introduced by CVE-2024-39884 fix.
 CVE(s):
 CVE-2024-39884 A regression in the core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60 ignores some use of the legacy content-type based configuration of handlers. AddType and similar configuration, under some circumstances where files are requested indirectly, result in source code disclosure of local content. For example, PHP scripts may be served instead of interpreted. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.61, which fixes this issue.
