An integer overflow flaw has been discovered in the Apache HTTP server. The integer overflow in the case of failed ACME certificate renewal leads, after a number of failures (~30 days in default configurations), to the backoff timer becoming 0. Attempts to renew the certificate then are repeated without delays until it succeeds.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-05 11:01:20 UTC
An integer overflow in the case of failed ACME certificate renewal leads, after a number of failures (~30 days in default configurations), to the backoff timer becoming 0. Attempts to renew the certificate then are repeated without delays until it succeeds.

This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.30 before 2.4.66.


Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.66, which fixes the issue.
