Please update httpd > httpd-2.4.56

  • 1.  Please update httpd > httpd-2.4.56

    Posted 03/10/23 01:26 AM

    Tenable is reporting these vulnerabilities in IBM httpd-2.4.x, please update to 2.4.56

    The version of Apache httpd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.56.
    It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2.4.56 advisory.

    HTTP request splitting with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy: Some mod_proxy configurations on Apache HTTP Server     versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.55 allow a HTTP Request Smuggling attack. Configurations are affected when     mod_proxy is enabled along with some form of RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern     matches some portion of the user-supplied request-target (URL) data and is then re-inserted into the     proxied request-target using variable substitution. For example, something like: RewriteEngine on     RewriteRule ^/here/(.*)  http://example.com:8080/elsewhere?$1 http://example.com:8080/elsewhere ; [P]     ProxyPassReverse /here/ http://example.com:8080/ http://example.com:8080/ Request splitting/smuggling     could result in bypass of access controls in the proxy server, proxying unintended URLs to existing origin     servers, and cache poisoning.

      - Apache HTTP Server: mod_proxy_uwsgi HTTP response splitting: HTTP Response Smuggling vulnerability in     Apache HTTP Server via mod_proxy_uwsgi. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.30 through 2.4.55.
        Special characters in the origin response header can truncate/split the response forwarded to the client.

    You can use dnf to update to this version.

    Thanks for providing this update.  When I try to install it using yum ("yum update httpd"), I get this error on some systems:

    Try to use DNF to install httpd or smitty install if it is *.rpm file.

    I worked around the yum issue by using a local  yum repository for the systems that gave the malloc error when trying to pull the file down from IBM.
