Die Apache Software Foundation hat die neue Version 2.4.55 des beliebten HTTP Webserver Apache2 veröffentlicht. Das Release schließt Sicherheitslücken im mod_proxy und mod_dav Modulen, führt Verbesserungen durch und behebt Fehler.
Apache2 2.4.55 Release Notes
*) SECURITY: CVE-2022-37436: Apache HTTP Server: mod_proxy prior to
2.4.55 allows a backend to trigger HTTP response splitting
(cve.mitre.org)
Prior to Apache HTTP Server 2.4.55, a malicious backend can
cause the response headers to be truncated early, resulting in
some headers being incorporated into the response body. If the
later headers have any security purpose, they will not be
interpreted by the client.

*) SECURITY: CVE-2022-36760: Apache HTTP Server: mod_proxy_ajp
Possible request smuggling (cve.mitre.org)
Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request
Smuggling') vulnerability in mod_proxy_ajp of Apache HTTP Server
allows an attacker to smuggle requests to the AJP server it
forwards requests to. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server
Apache HTTP Server 2.4 version 2.4.54 and prior versions.

*) SECURITY: CVE-2006-20001: mod_dav out of bounds read, or write
of zero byte (cve.mitre.org)
A carefully crafted If: request header can cause a memory read,
or write of a single zero byte, in a pool (heap) memory location
beyond the header value sent. This could cause the process to
crash.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.54 and earlier.
*) mod_dav: Open the lock database read-only when possible.
PR 36636 [Wilson Felipe <wfelipe gmail.com>, manu]
*) mod_proxy_http2: apply the standard httpd content type handling
to responses from the backend, as other proxy modules do. Fixes PR 66391.
Thanks to Jérôme Billiras for providing the patch.

*) mod_dav: mod_dav overrides dav_fs response on PUT failure. PR 35981

<alejandro.alvarez.ayllon cern.ch>]
*) mod_proxy_hcheck: Honor worker timeout settings. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_http2: version 2.0.10 of the module, synchronizing changes
with the gitgub version. This is a partial rewrite of how connections
and streams are handled.
- an APR pollset and pipes (where supported) are used to monitor
the main connection and react to IO for request/response handling.
This replaces the stuttered timed waits of earlier versions.
- H2SerializeHeaders directive still exists, but has no longer an effect.
- Clients that seemingly misbehave still get less resources allocated,
but ongoing requests are no longer disrupted.
- Fixed an issue since 1.15.24 that "Server" headers in proxied requests
were overwritten instead of preserved. [PR by @daum3ns]
- A regression in v1.15.24 was fixed that could lead to httpd child
processes not being terminated on a graceful reload or when reaching
MaxConnectionsPerChild. When unprocessed h2 requests were queued at
the time, these could stall. See #212.
- Improved information displayed in 'server-status' for H2 connections when
Extended Status is enabled. Now one can see the last request that IO
operations happened on and transferred IO stats are updated as well.
- When reaching server limits, such as MaxRequestsPerChild, the HTTP/2 connection
send a GOAWAY frame much too early on new connections, leading to invalid
protocol state and a client failing the request. See PR65731 at
<https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65731>.
The module now initializes the HTTP/2 protocol correctly and allows the
client to submit one request before the shutdown via a GOAWAY frame
is being announced.
- :scheme pseudo-header values, not matching the
connection scheme, are forwarded via absolute uris to the
http protocol processing to preserve semantics of the request.
Checks on combinations of pseudo-headers values/absence
have been added as described in RFC 7540. Fixes #230.
- A bug that prevented trailers (e.g. HEADER frame at the end) to be
generated in certain cases was fixed. See #233 where it prevented
gRPC responses to be properly generated.
- Request and response header values are automatically stripped of leading
and trialing space/tab characters. This is equivalent behaviour to what
Apache httpd's http/1.1 parser does.
The checks for this in nghttp2 v1.50.0+ are disabled.
- Extensive testing in production done by Alessandro Bianchi (@alexskynet)
on the v2.0.x versions for stability. Many thanks!
*) mod_proxy_http2: fixed #235 by no longer forwarding 'Host:' header when
request ':authority' is known. Improved test case that did not catch that
the previous 'fix' was incorrect.
*) mod_proxy_hcheck: hcmethod now allows for HTTP/1.1 requests
using GET11, HEAD11 and/or OPTIONS11. [Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_proxy: The AH03408 warning for a forcibly closed backend
connection is now logged at INFO level. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_ssl: When dumping the configuration, the existence of
certificate/key files is no longer tested. [Joe Orton]
*) mod_authn_core: Add expression support to AuthName and AuthType.
[Graham Leggett]
*) mod_ssl: when a proxy connection had handled a request using SSL, an
error was logged when "SSLProxyEngine" was only configured in the
location/proxy section and not the overall server. The connection
continued to work, the error log was in error. Fixed PR66190.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_hcheck: Re-enable workers in standard ERROR state. PR 66302.
[Alessandro Cavaliere <alessandro.cavalier7 unibo.it>]
*) mod_proxy_hcheck: Detect AJP/CPING support correctly. PR 66300.
[Alessandro Cavaliere <alessandro.cavalier7 unibo.it>]
*) mod_http2: Export mod_http2.h as public header. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: a new directive `MDStoreLocks` can be used on cluster
setups with a shared file system for `MDStoreDir` to order
activation of renewed certificates when several cluster nodes are
restarted at the same time. Store locks are not enabled by default.
Restored curl_easy cleanup behaviour from v2.4.14 and refactored
the use of curl_multi for OCSP requests to work with that.
Fixes <https://github.com/icing/mod_md/issues/293>.
*) core: Avoid an overflow on large inputs in ap_is_matchexp. PR 66033
[Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_heartmonitor: Allow "HeartbeatMaxServers 0" to use file based
storage instead of slotmem. Needed after setting
HeartbeatMaxServers default to the documented value 10 in 2.4.54.
PR 66131. [Jérôme Billiras]
*) mod_dav: DAVlockDiscovery option to disable WebDAV lock discovery
This is a game changer for performances if client use PROPFIND a lot,
PR 66313. [Emmanuel Dreyfus]

Interessiert in verschiedenste IT Themen, schreibe ich in diesem Blog über Software, Hardware, Smart Home, Games und vieles mehr. Ich berichte z.B. über die Installation und Konfiguration von Software als auch von Problemen mit dieser. News sind ebenso spannend, sodass ich auch über Updates, Releases und Neuigkeiten aus der IT berichte. Letztendlich nutze ich Taste-of-IT als eigene Dokumentation und Anlaufstelle bei wiederkehrenden Themen. Ich hoffe ich kann dich ebenso informieren und bei Problemen eine schnelle Lösung anbieten.
