CVE-2024-39884

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.60

Description A regression in the core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60 ignores some use of the legacy content-type based configuration of handlers. "AddType" and similar configuration, under some circumstances where files are requested indirectly, result in source code disclosure of local content. For example, PHP scripts may be served instead of interpreted. It is estimated that over 9,500 services are potentially affected.

Recommendations To resolve the issue, upgrade to version 2.4.61, which fixes this problem. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the AddType configuration to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the AddType directive in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
