Information about CVE-2024-27316 => DOS of Server

https://thehackernews.com/2024/04/new-http2-vulnerability-exposes-web.html

Problem:

httpd package for stable Fedora's is missing 3 moderate rated CVEs. Version is available for F41, but not for F38/39/40 . 

Even if Apache rates these issues as "moderadte",DOS attacks are not so moderate if your webserver gets DOSed in the realworld. So pls fix it.


suggested WORKAROUND: disable HTTP/2 Protocol

Apache Info:

Fixed in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59
