 * CVE-2024-38474: mod_rewrite: server weakness with encoded question marks in backreferences
 * CVE-2024-38475: mod_rewrite: server weakness in mod_rewrite when first segment of substitution matches filesystem path
 * CVE-2024-38477: mod_proxy: crash resulting in Denial of Service in mod_proxy via a malicious request
 * CVE-2024-38476: http: server use exploitable/malicious backend application output to run local handlers via internal redirect
 * CVE-2024-39573: mod_rewrite: proxy handler substitution CVE(s):
 CVE-2024-38474 Substitution encoding issue in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows attacker to execute scripts in directories permitted by the configuration but not directly reachable by any URL or source disclosure of scripts meant to only to be executed as CGI. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, which fixes this issue. Some RewriteRules that capture and substitute unsafely will now fail unless rewrite flag UnsafeAllow3F is specified.
 CVE-2024-38475 Improper escaping of output in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution or source code disclosure.
 Substitutions in server context that use a backreferences or variables as the first segment of the substitution are affected. Some unsafe RewiteRules will be broken by this change and the rewrite flag UnsafePrefixStat can be used to opt back in once ensuring the substitution is appropriately constrained.
 CVE-2024-38476 Vulnerability in core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier are vulnerably to information disclosure, SSRF or local script execution via backend applications whose response headers are malicious or exploitable. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, which fixes this issue.
 CVE-2024-38477 null pointer dereference in mod_proxy in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to crash the server via a malicious request. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, which fixes this issue.
 CVE-2024-39573 Potential SSRF in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to cause unsafe RewriteRules to unexpectedly setup URL's to be handled by mod_proxy. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, which fixes this issue.
