Apache 2.4.56 Release Notes

• SECURITY: CVE-2023-27522: Apache HTTP Server: mod_proxy_uwsgi HTTP response splitting (cve.mitre.org) 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.

• SECURITY: CVE-2023-25690: HTTP request splitting with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy (cve.mitre.org) 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.

• rotatelogs: Add -T flag to allow subsequent rotated logfiles to be
  truncated without the initial logfile being truncated. [Eric Covener]

• mod_ldap: LDAPConnectionPoolTTL should accept negative values in order to
  allow connections of any age to be reused. Up to now, a negative value
  was handled as an error when parsing the configuration file. PR 66421.

• mod_http2: client resets of HTTP/2 streams led to unwanted 500 errors
  reported in access logs and error documents. The processing of the
  reset was correct, only unneccesary reporting was caused.
