Abstract

IBM HTTP Server is vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities due to the included Apache HTTP Server

Download Description

PH61893 resolves the following problems:
  • CVE-2024-38472
    • Vulnerable Configurations: IHS on Windows
  • CVE-2024-38473, CVE-2024-38477
    • Vulnerable Configurations: IHS 9.0 with mod_proxy loaded
  • CVE-2024-38474, CVE-2024-38475
    • Vulnerable Configurations: IHS with mod_rewrite loaded.
      See https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html for mod_rewrite specifics.
  • CVE-2024-38476
    • Vulnerable Configurations:  IHS with mod_negotiation or CGI modules loaded
  • CVE-2024-39573
    • Vulnerable: IHS with both mod_rewrite and mod_proxy loaded
      See https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html for mod_rewrite specifics.


Behavior Changes in mod_rewrite:
  • If non-malicious URL's use encoded question marks (%3F), some RewriteRules that add a "?" to the substitution will return 403 unless the flag UnsafeAllow3F is added.
  • If a mod_rewrite substitution begins with a variable or back-reference, and has no PT flag, and the first path segment matches a directory at the root of the filesystem, the substitution will no longer map the URL to that directory unless the flag UnsafePrefixStat is added.
The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in 8.5.5.27 and 9.0.5.21.

This fix supersedes (includes) the fix for PH53014, PH57408, PH57668, PH59697, PH60619 (where applicable to the base fix pack level)
