Red Hat Security Advisory: httpd:2.4 security update
This advisory addresses two security vulnerabilities in the Apache HTTP Server (httpd) 2.4 packages provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2. The first vulnerability (CVE-2025-55753) involves unintended retry intervals in the mod_md (ACME) module. The second vulnerability (CVE-2025-58098) concerns the Server Side Includes feature adding query strings to the #exec cmd directive. Red Hat has released an update for the httpd:2.4 module to fix these issues.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Red Hat Product Security issued an important security update for the httpd:2.4 module in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, addressing several vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-65082 (CGI environment variable override), CVE-2025-55753 (mod_md unintended retry intervals), CVE-2025-66200 (mod_userdir+suexec bypass via AllowOverride FileInfo), and CVE-2025-58098 (Server Side Includes adds query string to #exec cmd). These vulnerabilities affect the Apache HTTP Server and related modules, potentially impacting server behavior and security. The advisory references updated packages that fix these issues and directs users to Red Hat's official update article for applying the patches.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities collectively pose a high security risk as rated by Red Hat, potentially allowing attackers to bypass security controls (mod_userdir+suexec bypass), manipulate environment variables (CGI override), cause unintended retry behaviors (mod_md), and alter Server Side Includes execution. These could lead to unauthorized access or execution of unintended commands on affected systems running vulnerable versions of Apache HTTP Server.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated httpd:2.4 packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the official security update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:23732 and the update article at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. Since this is an official fix, applying the update fully mitigates the vulnerabilities. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.
