CVE-2025-49812: Apache HTTP Server: mod_ssl TLS upgrade attack

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.63

Description:

In some mod_ssl configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions through to 2.4.63, an HTTP desynchronisation attack allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to hijack an HTTP session via a TLS upgrade.

Only configurations using "SSLEngine optional" to enable TLS upgrades are affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.64, which removes support for TLS upgrade.
