GHSA-2MCX-3XJ5-WG86

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-10 18:31 – Updated: 2025-11-05 00:31

Details

In some mod_ssl configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions through to 2.4.63, an HTTP desynchronisation attack allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to hijack an HTTP session via a TLS upgrade.

Only configurations using "SSLEngine optional" to enable TLS upgrades are affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.64, which removes support for TLS upgrade.

Severity ?

7.4 (High)
