How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 apache2-devel to version 2.4.51-3.37.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apache2-devel package and not the apache2-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

A crafted URI sent to httpd configured as a forward proxy (ProxyRequests on) can cause a crash (NULL pointer dereference) or, for configurations mixing forward and reverse proxy declarations, can allow for requests to be directed to a declared Unix Domain Socket endpoint (Server Side Request Forgery). This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.7 up to 2.4.51 (included).
