Several vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache HTTPD server

Summary

CVE-2017-3167

Emmanuel Dreyfus reported that the use of ap_get_basic_auth_pw() by
third-party modules outside of the authentication phase may lead to
authentication requirements being bypassed.

CVE-2017-3169

Vasileios Panopoulos of AdNovum Informatik AG discovered that
mod_ssl may dereference a NULL pointer when third-party modules call
ap_hook_process_connection() during an HTTP request to an HTTPS port
leading to a denial of service.

CVE-2017-7668

Javier Jimenez reported that the HTTP strict parsing contains a flaw
leading to a buffer overread in ap_find_token(). A remote attacker
can take advantage of this flaw by carefully crafting a sequence of
request headers to cause a segmentation fault, or to force
ap_find_token() to return an incorrect value.

CVE-2017-7679

ChenQin and Hanno Boeck reported that mod_mime can read one byte
past the end of a buffer when sending a malicious Content-Type
response header.
