NVD Description

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

In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 releases 2.4.17 to 2.4.38, with MPM event, worker or prefork, code executing in less-privileged child processes or threads (including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter) could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the parent process (usually root) by manipulating the scoreboard. Non-Unix systems are not affected.
