Apache 2.4.x < 2.4.26 Multiple Vulnerabilities

According to its banner, the version of Apache running on the remote host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.26. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

• An authentication bypass vulnerability exists due to third-party modules using the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() function outside of the authentication phase. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication requirements. (CVE-2017-3167)

• A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists due to third-party module calls to the mod_ssl ap_hook_process_connection() function during an HTTP request to an HTTPS port. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-3169)

• A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in mod_http2 that is triggered when handling a specially crafted HTTP/2 request. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. Note that this vulnerability does not affect 2.2.x. (CVE-2017-7659)

• An out-of-bounds read error exists in the ap_find_token() function due to improper handling of header sequences. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted header sequence, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-7668)

• An out-of-bounds read error exists in mod_mime due to improper handling of Content-Type response headers. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted Content-Type response header, to cause a denial of service condition or the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2017-7679)

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