Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server with malicious backend servers and ProxyPassReverseCookie*
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.0 through 2.4.67.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.68, which fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.67 stems from a heap-based buffer overflow triggered when the server processes responses from a malicious backend while ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain or ProxyPassReverseCookiePath directives are in use. Remote attackers controlling or compromising an upstream backend can crash the front-end Apache process, impacting availability of the reverse proxy without affecting confidentiality or integrity. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Apache HTTP Server's mod_proxy module rewrites Set-Cookie response headers from backend origin servers using the ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain and ProxyPassReverseCookiePath directives, which transform cookie Domain and Path attributes so they make sense on the proxy-facing side. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-122 (heap-based buffer overflow), indicating that crafted cookie attribute values returned by a backend cause the rewriting logic to write past the bounds of a heap allocation. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_http_server confirms the affected technology is the upstream httpd implementation, not a derivative or downstream distribution package specifically, though distros bundling 2.4.0-2.4.67 inherit the flaw until they rebase or backport.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Apache HTTP Server 2.4.68, which the Apache Software Foundation identifies as the fix release on https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html, and rebuild or update distro packages once 2.4.68-based builds are available. As a temporary workaround where immediate upgrade is impractical, remove ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain and ProxyPassReverseCookiePath directives from the configuration, accepting the side effect that backend Set-Cookie Domain and Path attributes will no longer be rewritten and may therefore not be scoped correctly for clients hitting the proxy hostname, which can break session handling for the proxied application. Alternatively, restrict the proxy to backends under your own administrative control and ensure no untrusted upstream can be reached via ProxyPass, recognizing this does not eliminate risk if a trusted backend is later compromised.
