Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A buffer overflow in mod_proxy_html in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.67 and earlier allows an attack by an untrusted backend. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.68, which fixes this issue.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0 through 2.4.67 stems from a heap buffer overflow in the mod_proxy_html output filter, where a malicious or compromised backend can return crafted HTML that corrupts memory in the proxying httpd worker. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) reflects unauthenticated network exploitation with availability-only impact, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0-2.4.67 must be running with mod_proxy_html loaded and ProxyHTMLEnable active on the request path, configured as a reverse proxy (ProxyPass / ProxyPassReverse) to a backend that the attacker either controls outright or can influence into returning crafted HTML - the description names 'an untrusted backend' as the exploitation vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed and warrant context: CVSS 7.5 is driven entirely by A:H (availability), with C:N and I:N - so this is a crash/DoS-class bug, not RCE, despite CWE-122 being a memory-corruption class that can sometimes escalate. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who controls or compromises a backend application server sitting behind an Apache reverse proxy returns a crafted HTML response that triggers the heap overflow inside mod_proxy_html as Apache rewrites links in the body, causing the worker process to crash and resulting in denial of service for clients of that vhost. The same scenario applies when Apache is configured to proxy to a third-party origin the attacker can influence (e.g., a mashup gateway or a partner-hosted service). … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Apache HTTP Server 2.4.68 - upgrade httpd to 2.4.68 or later, which the vendor states fixes this issue, per https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Audit all Apache HTTP Server instances to identify affected versions (2.4.0-2.4.67) and determine if mod_proxy_html filter is in active use. …
