Vulnerabilities description

  • CVE-2024-10306

    A vulnerability was found in mod_proxy_cluster. The issue is that the <Directory> directive should be replaced by the <Location> directive as the former does not restrict IP/host access as `Require ip IP_ADDRESS` would suggest. This means that anyone with access to the host might send MCMP requests that may result in adding/removing/updating nodes for the balancing. However, this host should not be accessible to the public network as it does not serve the general traffic. Bug Fixes * Rebuild mod_proxy_cluster against httpd 2.4.62 * Rebase mod_proxy_cluster to upstream 1.3.22 * Update deprecated misspeled EnableMCPMReceive directive
