Apache 2.4.49 < 2.4.51 Path Traversal

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 113015

Synopsis

Apache 2.4.49 < 2.4.51 Path Traversal

Description

According to its banner, the version of Apache running on the remote host is 2.4.49 or 2.4.50. It is, therefore, affected by a path traversal vulnerability. The fix for CVE-2021-41773 in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.50 was insufficient. An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the directories configured by Alias-like directives.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache version 2.4.51 or later.
