NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd package and not the httpd package as distributed by RHEL.

In Apache httpd 2.2.x before 2.2.33 and 2.4.x before 2.4.26, mod_ssl may dereference a NULL pointer when third-party modules call ap_hook_process_connection() during an HTTP request to an HTTPS port.
