- Update to 2.4.61 *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-39884: Apache HTTP Server: source code disclosure with handlers configured via AddType (cve.mitre.org) [boo#1227353] A regression in the core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60 ignores some use of the legacy content-type based configuration of handlers. "AddType" and similar configuration, under some circumstances where files are requested indirectly, result in source code disclosure of local content. For example, PHP scripts may be served instead of interpreted. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.61, which fixes this issue. - Update to 2.4.60 *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-39573: Apache HTTP Server: mod_rewrite proxy handler substitution (cve.mitre.org) [boo#1227271] Potential SSRF in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to cause unsafe RewriteRules to unexpectedly setup URL's to be handled by mod_proxy.

Dear System Administrator,
|
|
|
|
with apache 2.4, some changes have been introduced that affect apache's
|
|
access control scheme.
|
|
|
|
Previously, the directives "Allow", "Deny" and "Order" have determined
|
|
if access to a resource has been granted with apache 2.2.
|
|
Example (from /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, the main apache configuration file):
|
|
<Directory />
|
|
Options None
|
|
AllowOverride None
|
|
Order deny,allow
|
|
Deny from all
|
|
</Directory>
|
|
|
|
With 2.4, these directives have been replaced by the "Require" directive,
|
|
which is contained in the mod_authz_core module, and enhanced by the
|
|
mod_authz_host module.
|
|
"Require" understands several regulative groups, such as
|
|
env access granted if an apache environment variable is set
|
|
method access granted only for given HTTP methods (GET, POST, ...)
|
|
expr access granted if the expression following expr evaluates to true
|
|
user access granted if the named users can access the resource
|
|
group analogous to user for groups
|
|
valid-user access granted if a valid user requests it
|
|
ip access granted if the client's IP address matches
|
|
all granted unconditionally accepted/granted
|
|
all denied unconditionally denied access
|
|
|
|
By consequence, the set of 2.2 directives
|
|
Order deny,allow
|
|
Deny from all
|
|
can be translated to the apache 2.4 Require directive
|
|
Require all denied
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 package set for apache comes with a compatibility
|
|
module called mod_access_compat, which, if loaded, causes apache to understand
|
|
the 2.2 "Allow/Deny" directives. Unfortunately, the mixed usage of the
|
|
2.2 "Allow/Deny" and the 2.4 "Require" directive will lead to either unexpected
|
|
or inconclusive results. By consequence, one should decide if the 2.2 or the
|
|
2.4 access control mimics shall be used.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, it is easy to switch from the new back to the old scheme:
|
|
|
|
a2enmod access_compat
|
|
|
|
will enable the 2.2 scheme,
|
|
|
|
a2enmod -d access_compat
|
|
|
|
will disable the old scheme again, thereby enabling the new scheme.
|
|
Of course, an apache restart is needed:
|
|
|
|
systemctl restart apache2
|
|
|
|
The SUSE apache configuration framework can work with both the new and the
|
|
old scheme, conditional if the access_compat apache module is loaded.
|
|
|
|

|
