Upgrade AlmaLinux:9 httpd-filesystem to version 0:2.4.53-7.el9 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2022:8067.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd-filesystem package and not the httpd-filesystem package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may crash or disclose information due to a read beyond bounds in ap_strcmp_match() when provided with an extremely large input buffer. While no code distributed with the server can be coerced into such a call, third-party modules or lua scripts that use ap_strcmp_match() may hypothetically be affected.
