CVE-2017-7659: mod_http2 null pointer dereference Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: httpd 2.4.24 (unreleased) httpd 2.4.25 Description: A maliciously constructed HTTP/2 request could cause mod_http2 to dereference a NULL pointer and crash the server process. Mitigation: 2.4.25 users of mod_http2 should upgrade to 2.4.26. Credit: The Apache HTTP Server security team would like to thank Robert Święcki for reporting this issue.

CVE-2017-7679: mod_mime buffer overread Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: httpd 2.2.0 to 2.2.32 httpd 2.4.0 to 2.4.25 Description: mod_mime can read one byte past the end of a buffer when sending a malicious Content-Type response header. Mitigation: 2.2.x users should either apply the patch available at https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.2.32/CVE-2017-7679.patch or upgrade in the future to 2.2.33, which is currently unreleased. 2.4.x users should upgrade to 2.4.26.

CVE-2017-7668: ap_find_token buffer overread Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: httpd 2.2.32 httpd 2.4.24 (unreleased) httpd 2.4.25 Description: The HTTP strict parsing changes added in 2.2.32 and 2.4.24 introduced a bug in token list parsing, which allows ap_find_token() to search past the end of its input string. By maliciously crafting a sequence of request headers, an attacker may be able to cause a segmentation fault, or to force ap_find_token() to return an incorrect value. Mitigation: 2.2.32 users should either apply the patch available at https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.2.32/CVE-2017-7668.patch or upgrade in the future to 2.2.33, which is currently unreleased. 2.4.25 users should upgrade to 2.4.26.

CVE-2017-3169: mod_ssl null pointer dereference Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: httpd 2.2.0 to 2.2.32 httpd 2.4.0 to 2.4.25 Description: mod_ssl may dereference a NULL pointer when third-party modules call ap_hook_process_connection() during an HTTP request to an HTTPS port. Mitigation: 2.2.x users should either apply the patch available at https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.2.32/CVE-2017-3169.patch or upgrade in the future to 2.2.33, which is currently unreleased. 2.4.x users should upgrade to 2.4.26.

CVE-2017-3167: ap_get_basic_auth_pw authentication bypass Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: httpd 2.2.0 to 2.2.32 httpd 2.4.0 to 2.4.25 Description: Use of the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() by third-party modules outside of the authentication phase may lead to authentication requirements being bypassed. Mitigation: 2.2.x users should either apply the patch available at https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.2.32/CVE-2017-3167.patch or upgrade in the future to 2.2.33, which is currently unreleased. 2.4.x users should upgrade to 2.4.26. Third-party module writers SHOULD use ap_get_basic_auth_components(), available in 2.2.33 and 2.4.26, instead of ap_get_basic_auth_pw(). Modules which call the legacy ap_get_basic_auth_pw() during the authentication phase MUST either immediately authenticate the user after the call, or else stop the request immediately with an error response, to avoid incorrectly authenticating the current request.
