Buffer Underwrite vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server on crafted regular expressions in the configuration.
Last updated 8 July 2026
Apache HTTP Server contains an improper escaping of output vulnerability in modrewrite that allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution or source code disclosure.
Apache. This is a vulnerability in open source code and Apple Software among the affected projects. The CVE-ID was assigned by a third party. Learn more about the issue and CVE-ID at cve.org.
CVE-2024-38474 Substitution encoding issue in modrewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows attacker to execute scripts in directories permitted by the configuration but not directly reachable by any URL or source disclosure of scripts meant to only to be executed as CGI. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, which fixes this issue. Some RewriteRules that capture and substitute unsafely will now fail unless rewrite flag "UnsafeAllow3F" is specified. CVE-2024-38475 Improper escaping of output in modrewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution or source code disclosure. Substitutions in server context that use a backreferences or variables as the first segment of the substitution are affected. Some unsafe RewiteRules will be broken by this change and the rewrite flag "UnsafePrefixStat" can be used to opt back in once ensuring the substitution is appropriately constrained.
A vulnerability was found in httpd. This security issue occurs when some modproxy configurations on Apache HTTP Server allow an HTTP Request Smuggling attack. Configurations are affected when modproxy is enabled along with some form of RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches some portion of the user-supplied request-target (URL) data and is then re-inserted into the proxied request-target using variable substitution.
Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling') vulnerability in modproxyajp of Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker to smuggle requests to the AJP server it forwards requests to. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server Apache HTTP Server 2.4 version 2.4.54 and prior versions.
An out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability was found in the modsed module of httpd. This flaw allows an attacker to overwrite the memory of an httpd instance that is using modsed with data provided by the attacker.
A heap overflow flaw was found In Apache httpd modsession. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
