NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd:2.4/httpd package and not the httpd:2.4/httpd package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may not send the X-Forwarded-* headers to the origin server based on client side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism. This may be used to bypass IP based authentication on the origin server/application.
