- 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.

  *) 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.

     Denial of Service in mod_proxy via a malicious request
     (cve.mitre.org) [boo#1227270]
     null pointer dereference in mod_proxy in Apache HTTP Server
     2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to crash the server via a
     malicious request.

     exploitable/malicious backend application output to run local
     handlers via internal redirect (cve.mitre.org) [boo#1227269]
     Vulnerability in core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier
     are vulnerably to information disclosure, SSRF or local script
     execution via backend applications whose response headers are
     malicious or exploitable.
     Note: Some legacy uses of the 'AddType' directive to connect a
     request to a handler must be ported to 'AddHandler' after this fix.

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38475: Apache HTTP Server weakness in
     mod_rewrite when first segment of substitution matches
     filesystem path. (cve.mitre.org) [boo#1227268]
     Improper escaping of output in mod_rewrite 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.

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38474: Apache HTTP Server weakness with
     encoded question marks in backreferences (cve.mitre.org)
     [boo#1227278]
     Substitution encoding issue in mod_rewrite 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.
     Note: Some RewriteRules that capture and substitute unsafely will now
     fail unless rewrite flag "UnsafeAllow3F" is specified.

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38473: Apache HTTP Server proxy encoding
     problem (cve.mitre.org) [boo#1227276]
     Encoding problem in mod_proxy in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and
     earlier allows request URLs with incorrect encoding to be sent
     to backend services, potentially bypassing authentication via
     crafted requests.

     (cve.mitre.org) [boo#1227267]
     SSRF in Apache HTTP Server on Windows allows to potentially leak
     NTML hashes to a malicious server via SSRF and malicious
     requests or content
     Note: Existing configurations that access UNC paths
     will have to configure new directive "UNCList" to allow access
     during request processing.

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-36387: Apache HTTP Server: DoS by Null
     pointer in websocket over HTTP/2 (cve.mitre.org) [boo#1227272]
     Serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over a HTTP/2 connection
     could result in a Null Pointer dereference, leading to a crash
     of the server process, degrading performance.

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.

the access_compat module can be found here:
