CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 mod_http2 to version 0:1.15.7-3.module+el8.4.0+8625+d397f3da or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mod_http2 package and not the mod_http2 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43 When trace/debug was enabled for the HTTP/2 module and on certain traffic edge patterns, logging statements were made on the wrong connection, causing concurrent use of memory pools. Configuring the LogLevel of mod_http2 above "info" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers.
