CVE-2018-1333 httpd: mod_http2: too much time allocated to workers, possibly leading to DoS
Last modified: 2018-10-19 17:52:07 EDT
Apache httpd before version 2.4.34 has a vulnerability in the handling of specially crafted HTTP/2 requests, causing workers to be allocated 60 seconds longer than necessary, leading to worker exhaustion and a denial of service. This issue only affects servers that have configured and enabled HTTP/2 support, which is not the default External References: https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html#CVE-2018-1333
Created httpd tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1605049]
HTTP/2 support was first added upstream in version 2.4.17: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_http2.html http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.4.17 Hence earlier versions can not be affected. Additionally, upstream lists version 2.4.18 as the first affected.
Upstream commit: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1828879 Matching commit in the mod_h2 git: https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/commit/83a2e3866918ce6567a683eb4c660688d047ee81
httpd24-httpd (2.4.27) appears to be vulnerable. http2 modules are built and loaded by default.
