CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade apache/httpd to version 2.4.30 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. A specially crafted request could have crashed the Apache HTTP Server prior to version 2.4.30, due to an out of bound access after a size limit is reached by reading the HTTP header. This vulnerability is considered very hard if not impossible to trigger in non-debug mode (both log and build level), so it is classified as low risk for common server usage.
