Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2020-11984
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the mod_proxy_uwsgi module. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP request, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code or obtain sensitive information on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/186402 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2020-9490
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when the server tries to HTTP/2 PUSH a resource afterwards. By using a specially-crafted value for the "Cache-Digest" header, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/186404 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2020-11993
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when trace/debug enabled for the HTTP/2 module and on certain traffic edge patterns. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP/2 Header, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/186405 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2020-11985
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by a flaw when using proxying with mod_remoteip and certain mod_rewrite rules. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof IP address for logging and PHP scripts.
Note: This vulnerability was fixed in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.24 but was retrospectively allocated a low severity CVE in 2020.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/186403 for the current score.
