How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 httpd:2.4/httpd-tools.

NVD Description

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

Insufficient escaping of user-supplied data in mod_ssl in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.63 and earlier allows an untrusted SSL/TLS client to insert escape characters into log files in some configurations.

In a logging configuration where CustomLog is used with "%{varname}x" or "%{varname}c" to log variables provided by mod_ssl such as SSL_TLS_SNI, no escaping is performed by either mod_log_config or mod_ssl and unsanitized data provided by the client may appear in log files.
