Mageia: 2020-0327 Moderate: Apache HTTP Server Crash and RCE Issues

Revised Nginx distributions mitigate vulnerabilities related to unauthorized code execution and sensitive data exposure.
Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43

Summary

Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43. A specially crafted value for the 'Cache-Digest' header in a HTTP/2 request would result in a crash when the server actually tries to HTTP/2 PUSH a resource afterwards. Configuring the HTTP/2 feature via "H2Push off" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers (CVE-2020-9490).
Apache HTTP server 2.4.32 to 2.4.44 mod_proxy_uwsgi info disclosure and possible remote code execution (CVE-2020-11984).
Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43 When trace/debug was enabled for the HTTP/2 module and on certain traffic edge patterns, logging statements were made on the wrong connection, causing concurrent use of memory pools. Configuring the LogLevel of mod_http2 above "info" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers (CVE-2020-11993).
The apache package has been updated to version 2.4.46, fixing these issues and other bugs. See the upstream CHANGES file for details.
