Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-38472
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, caused by improper validation of WIndows UNC. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to leak NTML hashes to a malicious server.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296127 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-38473
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an encoding flaw in mod_proxy. By sending specially crafted requests with incorrect encoding an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass authentication validation.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296126 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-38474
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a substitution encoding issue in mod_rewrite. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute scripts in directories permitted by the configuration.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296125 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-38475
DESCRIPTION: 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.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296124 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-38476
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper input validation by the backend applications response headers. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, perform server-side request forgery attack or local script execution.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296123 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-38477
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference flaw in mod_proxy. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296122 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-2024-39573
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, caused by a flaw in the mod_rewrite. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause unsafe RewriteRules to unexpectedly setup URL's to be handled by mod_proxy.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296120 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-37532
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 is vulnerable to identity spoofing by an authenticated user due to improper signature validation. IBM X-Force ID: 294721.
CVSS Base score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/294721 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-35153
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows a privileged user to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM X-Force ID: 292640.
CVSS Base score: 4.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/292640 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-35154
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker, who has authorized access to the administrative console, to execute arbitrary code. Using specially crafted input, the attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. IBM X-Force ID: 292641.
CVSS Base score: 7.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/292641 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-40898
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, caused by an error on Windows with mod_rewrite in server/vhost context. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to leak NTLM hashes to a malicious server.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/298127 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-40725
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-39884 related to ignoring some use of the legacy content-type based configuration of handlers. By using AddType, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability, resulting in source code disclosure of local content.
CVSS Base score: 5.9

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
