Package        : apache2
Version        : 2.4.38-3+deb10u10
CVE ID         : CVE-2023-25690 CVE-2023-27522
Debian Bug     : 1032476

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in apache2,
a webserver that may be used as front-end proxy for other applications.
These vulnerabilities may lead to HTTP request smuggling, and thus
to front-end security controls being bypassed.

Unfortunately, fixing these security vulnerabilities may require
changes to configuration files. Some out-of-specification
RewriteRule directives that were previously silently accepted,
are now rejected with error AH10409. For instance, some RewriteRules
that included a back-reference and the flags "[L,NC]" will need to
be written with extra escaping flags such as "[B= ?,BNP,QSA]".

CVE-2023-25690

  Some mod_proxy configurations allow an HTTP request Smuggling
  attack. Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is
  enabled along with some form of RewriteRule
  or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches
  some portion of the user-supplied request-target (URL)
  data and is then re-inserted into the proxied request-target
  using variable substitution.

CVE-2023-27522

    HTTP Response Smuggling in mod_proxy_uwsgi

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
2.4.38-3+deb10u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
