An out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) exists in Apache HTTP Server versions from 2.4.0 through 2.4.67 when using mod_headers and mod_mime with multiple response languages. This flaw could allow an attacker to read memory outside the intended buffer. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5, indicating a medium severity level. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-43951 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability affecting Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.67. It involves improper memory handling in the interaction of mod_headers and mod_mime modules when multiple response languages are configured. This can lead to reading memory beyond allocated buffers, potentially exposing sensitive information. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (medium severity) with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No official remediation or patch has been documented yet.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to read memory outside the intended bounds of the Apache HTTP Server process. This may lead to disclosure of sensitive information and partial integrity compromise. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider limiting exposure of affected Apache HTTP Server instances and monitor vendor communications for updates.
