CVE-2026-56449: CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write in Apache Software Foundation Apache HTTP Server
Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server's mod_proxy_html with crafted HTTP response bodies. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.0 through 2.4.68.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds write in the mod_proxy_html component of Apache HTTP Server. Specifically, when handling specially crafted HTTP response bodies, the server may write data outside the allocated buffer boundaries. This can cause memory corruption, which may lead to crashes or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The affected versions are Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0 through 2.4.68. There is no CVSS score provided, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported. No patch or remediation information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could result in memory corruption due to out-of-bounds writes, potentially causing denial of service or arbitrary code execution. However, no active exploitation has been reported, and the exact impact depends on the attacker's ability to trigger the vulnerability via crafted HTTP response bodies.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should monitor Apache Software Foundation advisories for updates. No specific temporary mitigations are provided in the available data.
