Description

Apache has been updated to version 2.4.59 to fix CVE-2024-27316,
CVE-2024-24795 and CVE-2023-38709.
CVE-2024-27316: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP/2 DoS by memory exhaustion on
endless continuation frames (cve.mitre.org)
HTTP/2 incoming headers exceeding the limit are temporarily buffered in
nghttp2 in order to generate an informative HTTP 413
response. If a client does not stop sending headers, this leads
to memory exhaustion.

CVE-2024-24795: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP Response Splitting in multiple
modules (cve.mitre.org)
HTTP Response splitting in multiple modules in Apache HTTP Server allows
an attacker that can inject malicious response
headers into backend applications to cause an HTTP desynchronization
attack.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.59, which fixes this
issue.
