Fedora: 2018-63de5f3f6b Low Risk: mod_http2 Memory Issue Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey April 27, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The mod_security patch addresses vulnerabilities in the Apache server, improving robustness and protection against potential exploits.
This release includes the latest stable upstream release of mod_http2

Summary

The mod_h2 Apache httpd module implements the HTTP2 protocol (h2+h2c) on

top of libnghttp2 for httpd 2.4 servers.

This release includes the latest stable upstream release of mod_http2. The

changes since the last update are: * fixes a race condition where aborting

streams triggers an unnecessary timeout. * accurate reporting of h2 data

input/output per request via mod_logio. Fixes an issue where output sizes where

counted n-times on reused slave connections. See [issue

#158](https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/158). * normalized connection

prefix logging when trace2 is enabled for direct h2 connection detection. ----This update includes the latest upstream release of mod_http2, version 1.10.16.

This includes a security fix (CVE-2018-1302): When an HTTP/2 stream was

destroyed after being handled, mod_http2 could have written a NULL pointer

potentially to an already freed memory. The memory pools maintained by the

server make this vulnerabilty hard to trigger in usual configurations, the

reporter and the team could not reproduce it outside debug builds, so it is

classified as low risk.
