[Joe Orton] + +Changes with Apache 2.4.58 + + *) SECURITY: CVE-2023-45802: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP/2 stream + memory not reclaimed right away on RST (cve.mitre.org) + When a HTTP/2 stream was reset (RST frame) by a client, there + was a time window were the request's memory resources were not + reclaimed immediately. Instead, de-allocation was deferred to + connection close. A client could send new requests and resets, + keeping the connection busy and open and causing the memory + footprint to keep on growing. On connection close, all resources + were reclaimed, but the process might run out of memory before + that. + This was found by the reporter during testing of CVE-2023-44487 + (HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Exploit) with their own test client. During + "normal" HTTP/2 use, the probability to hit this bug is very + low. The kept memory would not become noticeable before the + connection closes or times out. + Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes + the issue. + Credits: Will Dormann of Vul Labs + + *) SECURITY: CVE-2023-43622: Apache HTTP Server: DoS in HTTP/2 with + initial windows size 0 (cve.mitre.org) + An attacker, opening a HTTP/2 connection with an initial window + size of 0, was able to block handling of that connection + indefinitely in Apache HTTP Server. This could be used to + exhaust worker resources in the server, similar to the well + known "slow loris" attack pattern. + This has been fixed in version 2.4.58, so that such connection + are terminated properly after the configured connection timeout. + This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.55 through + 2.4.57. + Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes + the issue. + Credits: Prof. Sven Dietrich (City University of New York) + + *) SECURITY: CVE-2023-31122: mod_macro buffer over-read + (cve.mitre.org) + Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in mod_macro of Apache HTTP + Server.This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: through 2.4.57. + Credits: David Shoon (github/davidshoon) + + *) mod_ssl: Silence info log message "SSL Library Error: error:0A000126: + SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading" when using + OpenSSL 3 by setting SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF if + available. [Rainer Jung] + + *) mod_http2: improved early cleanup of streams. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_proxy_http2: improved error handling on connection errors while + response is already underway. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_http2: fixed a bug that could lead to a crash in main connection + output handling. This occured only when the last request on a HTTP/2 + connection had been processed and the session decided to shut down. + This could lead to an attempt to send a final GOAWAY while the previous + write was still in progress. See PR 66646. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_proxy_http2: fix `X-Forward-Host` header to carry the correct value. + Fixes PR66752. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_http2: added support for bootstrapping WebSockets via HTTP/2, as + described in RFC 8441. A new directive 'H2WebSockets on|off' has been + added. The feature is by default not enabled. + As also discussed in the manual, this feature should work for setups + using "ProxyPass backend-url upgrade=websocket" without further changes. + Special server modules for WebSockets will have to be adapted, + most likely, as the handling if IO events is different with HTTP/2. + HTTP/2 WebSockets are supported on platforms with native pipes. This + excludes Windows. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_rewrite: Fix a regression with both a trailing ? and [QSA]. + in OCSP stapling. PR 66672. [Frank Meier <frank.meier ergon.ch>, covener] + + *) mod_http2: fixed a bug in flushing pending data on an already closed + connection that could lead to a busy loop, preventing the HTTP/2 session + to close down successfully. Fixed PR 66624. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_http2: v2.0.15 with the following fixes and improvements + - New directive 'H2EarlyHint name value' to add headers to a response, + picked up already when a "103 Early Hints" response is sent. 'name' and + 'value' must comply to the HTTP field restrictions. + This directive can be repeated several times and header fields of the + same names add. Sending a 'Link' header with 'preload' relation will + also cause a HTTP/2 PUSH if enabled and supported by the client. + - Fixed an issue where requests were not logged and accounted in a timely + fashion when the connection returns to "keepalive" handling, e.g. when + the request served was the last outstanding one. + This led to late appearance in access logs with wrong duration times + reported. + - Accurately report the bytes sent for a request in the '%O' Log format. + This addresses #203, a long outstanding issue where mod_h2 has reported + numbers over-eagerly from internal buffering and not what has actually + been placed on the connection. + The numbers are now the same with and without H2CopyFiles enabled. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_proxy_http2: fix retry handling to not leak temporary errors. + On detecting that that an existing connection was shutdown by the other + side, a 503 response leaked even though the request was retried on a + fresh connection. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_rewrite: Add server directory to include path as mod_rewrite requires + test_char.h. PR 66571 [Valeria Petrov <valeria.petrov@spinetix.com>] + + *) mod_http2: new directive `H2ProxyRequests on|off` to enable handling + of HTTP/2 requests in a forward proxy configuration. + General forward proxying is enabled via `ProxyRequests`. If the + HTTP/2 protocol is also enabled for such a server/host, this new + directive is needed in addition. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) core: Updated conf/mime.types: + - .js moved from 'application/javascript' to 'text/javascript' + - .mjs was added as 'text/javascript' + - add .opus ('audio/ogg') + - add 'application/vnd.geogebra.slides' + - add WebAssembly MIME types and extension + [Mathias Bynens <@mathiasbynens> via PR 318, + Richard de Boer <richard tubul.net>, Dave Hodder <dmh dmh.org.uk>, + Zbynek Konecny <zbynek1729 gmail.com>] + + *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed using the wrong "bucket_alloc" from the backend + connection when sending data on the frontend one.

Code + fixes for changed clienthello member name. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_md: + - New directive `MDMatchNames all|servernames` to allow more control over how + MDomains are matched to VirtualHosts. + - New directive `MDChallengeDns01Version`. Setting this to `2` will provide + the command also with the challenge value on `teardown` invocation. In version + 1, the default, only the `setup` invocation gets this parameter. + Refs #312. Thanks to @domrim for the idea. + - For Managed Domain in "manual" mode, the checks if all used ServerName and + ServerAlias are part of the MDomain now reports a warning instead of an error + (AH10040) when not all names are present. + - MDChallengeDns01 can now be configured for individual domains. + Using PR from Jérôme Billiras (@bilhackmac) and adding test case and fixing proper working + - Fixed a bug found by Jérôme Billiras (@bilhackmac) that caused the challenge + teardown not being invoked as it should. + + *) mod_ldap: Avoid performance overhead of APR-util rebind cache for + OpenLDAP 2.2+. PR 64414. [Joe Orton] + + *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2MaxDataFrameLen n' to limit the maximum + amount of response body bytes put into a single HTTP/2 DATA frame. + Setting this to 0 places no limit (but the max size allowed by the + protocol is observed). + The module, by default, tries to use the maximum size possible, which is + somewhat around 16KB. This sets the maximum. When less response data is + available, smaller frames will be sent. + + *) mod_md: fixed passing of the server environment variables to programs + started via MDMessageCmd and MDChallengeDns01 on *nix system. + See <https://github.com/icing/mod_md/issues/319>. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_dav: Add DavBasePath directive to configure the repository root + path.
