The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6885-1 advisory.
Marc Stern discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over HTTP/2 connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-36387)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module incorrectly sent certain request URLs with incorrect encodings to backends. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication. (CVE-2024-38473)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_rewrite module incorrectly handled certain substitutions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute scripts in directories not directly reachable by any URL, or cause a denial of service. Some environments may require using the new UnsafeAllow3F flag to handle unsafe substitutions. (CVE-2024-38474, CVE-2024-38475, CVE-2024-39573)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain response headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information, execute local scripts, or perform SSRF attacks. (CVE-2024-38476)
Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module incorrectly handled certain requests.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-38477)
It was discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain handlers configured via AddType.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain source code. (CVE-2024-39884)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
