Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd package and not the httpd package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Apache httpd 2.4.0 to 2.4.29, the expression specified in <FilesMatch> could match '$' to a newline character in a malicious filename, rather than matching only the end of the filename. This could be exploited in environments where uploads of some files are are externally blocked, but only by matching the trailing portion of the filename.
