Description

CVE-2023-25690 affecting package httpd for versions less than 2.4.56-1

Some mod_proxy configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.55 allow a HTTP Request Smuggling attack.

Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is enabled along with some form of RewriteRule

or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches

some portion of the user-supplied request-target (URL) data and is then

re-inserted into the proxied request-target using variable

substitution. For example, something like:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule "^/here/(.*)" "http://example.com:8080/elsewhere?$1"; [P]

ProxyPassReverse /here/ http://example.com:8080/

Request splitting/smuggling could result in bypass of access controls in the proxy server, proxying unintended URLs to existing origin servers, and cache poisoning. Users are recommended to update to at least version 2.4.56 of Apache HTTP Server.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.
