Description:
This update for apache2 fixes the following issues:
Changes in apache2:
Version update to 2.4.66 (jsc#PED-16181)
) SECURITY: CVE-2025-66200: Apache HTTP Server: mod_userdir+suexec
bypass via AllowOverride FileInfo.
mod_userdir+suexec bypass via AllowOverride FileInfo
vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server. Users with access to use
the RequestHeader directive in htaccess can cause some CGI
scripts to run under an unexpected userid.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.7 through
2.4.65.
) SECURITY: CVE-2025-65082: Apache HTTP Server: CGI environment
variable override.
Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences
vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server through environment
variables set via the Apache configuration unexpectedly
superseding variables calculated by the server for CGI programs.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server from 2.4.0 through 2.4.65.
) SECURITY: CVE-2025-59775: Apache HTTP Server: NTLM Leakage on
Windows through UNC SSRF.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache HTTP
Server on Windows with AllowEncodedSlashes On and MergeSlashes Off
allows to potentially leak NTLM hashes to a malicious server via
SSRF and malicious requests or
content
) SECURITY: CVE-2025-58098: Apache HTTP Server: Server Side
Includes adds query string to #exec cmd=...
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.65 and earlier with Server Side Includes
(SSI) enabled and mod_cgid (but not mod_cgi) passes the
shell-escaped query string to #exec cmd="..." directives.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.66.
) SECURITY: CVE-2025-55753: Apache HTTP Server: mod_md (ACME),
unintended retry intervals
An integer overflow in the case of failed ACME certificate
renewal leads, after a number of failures (~30 days in default
configurations), to the backoff timer becoming 0. Attempts to
renew the certificate then are repeated without delays until it
succeeds.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.30 before 2.4.66.
) mod_http2: Fix handling of 304 responses from mod_cache.
) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: fix a bug in calculating the log2 value of
integers, used in push diaries and proxy window size calculations.
) mod_md: update to version 2.6.5
- New directive MDInitialDelay, controlling how longer to wait after
a server restart before checking certificates for renewal.
[Michael Kaufmann]
- Hardening: when build with OpenSSL older than 1.0.2 or old libressl
versions, the parsing of ASN.1 time strings did not do a length check.
- Hardening: when reading back OCSP responses stored in the local JSON
store, missing 'valid' key led to uninitialized values, resulting in
wrong refresh behaviour.
) mod_md: update to version 2.6.6
- Fix a small memory leak when using OpenSSL's BIGNUMs.
- Fix reuse of curl easy handles by resetting them.
) mod_http2: update to version 2.0.35
New directive H2MaxStreamErrors to control how much bad behaviour
by clients is tolerated before the connection is closed.
) mod_proxy_http2: add support for ProxyErrorOverride directive.
) mpm_common: Add new ListenTCPDeferAccept directive that allows to specify
the value set for the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT socket option on listen sockets.
) mod_ssl: Add SSLVHostSNIPolicy directive to control the virtual
host compatibility policy.
) mod_md: update to version 2.6.2
- Fix error retry delay calculation to not already doubling the wait
on the first error.
*) mod_md: update to version 2.6.1
- Increasing default MDRetryDelay to 30 seconds to generate less bursty
traffic on errored renewals for the ACME CA. This leads to error retries
of 30s, 1 minute, 2, 4, etc. up to daily attempts.
- Checking that configuring MDRetryDelay will result in a positive
duration. A delay of 0 is not accepted.
- Fix a bug in checking Content-Type of responses from the ACME server.
- Added ACME ARI support (rfc9773) to the module. Enabled by default. New
directive "MDRenewViaARI on|off" for controlling this.
- Removing tailscale support. It has not been working for a long time
as the company decided to change their APIs. Away with the dead code,
documentation and tests.
- Fixed a compilation issue with pre-industrial versions of libcurl.
