Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41081)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application when a configuration included "JkOptions +ForwardDirectories" but the configuration did not provide explicit mounts for all possible proxied requests. A remote attacker can view status worker and possibly bypass security constraints configured in httpd.


2) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-46544)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions for the memory mapped file configured by the JkShmFile directive on Unix like systems. A local user can view or modify the contents of the shared memory containing mod_jk configuration and status information, which can lead to information disclosure or denial of service.
