+ 2.4.55 allows a backend to trigger HTTP response splitting
+ (cve.mitre.org)
+ Prior to Apache HTTP Server 2.4.55, a malicious backend can
+ cause the response headers to be truncated early, resulting in

+ Possible request smuggling (cve.mitre.org)
+ Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request

+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2006-20001: mod_dav out of bounds read, or write
+ of zero byte (cve.mitre.org)
+ A carefully crafted If: request header can cause a memory read,
+ or write of a single zero byte, in a pool (heap) memory location

+
+ *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Honor worker timeout settings. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_http2: version 2.0.11 of the module, synchronizing changes
+ with the gitgub version. This is a partial rewrite of how connections
+ and streams are handled.
+ - an APR pollset and pipes (where supported) are used to monitor
+ the main connection and react to IO for request/response handling.
+ This replaces the stuttered timed waits of earlier versions.
+ - H2SerializeHeaders directive still exists, but has no longer an effect.
+ - Clients that seemingly misbehave still get less resources allocated,
+ but ongoing requests are no longer disrupted.
+ - Fixed an issue since 1.15.24 that "Server" headers in proxied requests
+ were overwritten instead of preserved. [PR by @daum3ns]
+ - A regression in v1.15.24 was fixed that could lead to httpd child
+ processes not being terminated on a graceful reload or when reaching
+ MaxConnectionsPerChild. When unprocessed h2 requests were queued at
+ the time, these could stall. See #212.
+ - Improved information displayed in 'server-status' for H2 connections when
+ Extended Status is enabled. Now one can see the last request that IO
+ operations happened on and transferred IO stats are updated as well.
+ - When reaching server limits, such as MaxRequestsPerChild, the HTTP/2 connection
+ send a GOAWAY frame much too early on new connections, leading to invalid
+ protocol state and a client failing the request. See PR65731 at
+ <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65731>.
+ The module now initializes the HTTP/2 protocol correctly and allows the
+ client to submit one request before the shutdown via a GOAWAY frame
+ is being announced.
+ - :scheme pseudo-header values, not matching the
+ connection scheme, are forwarded via absolute uris to the
+ http protocol processing to preserve semantics of the request.
+ Checks on combinations of pseudo-headers values/absence
+ have been added as described in RFC 7540. Fixes #230.
+ - A bug that prevented trailers (e.g. HEADER frame at the end) to be
+ generated in certain cases was fixed. See #233 where it prevented
+ gRPC responses to be properly generated.
+ - Request and response header values are automatically stripped of leading
+ and trialing space/tab characters. This is equivalent behaviour to what
+ Apache httpd's http/1.1 parser does.
+ The checks for this in nghttp2 v1.50.0+ are disabled.
+ - Extensive testing in production done by Alessandro Bianchi (@alexskynet)
+ on the v2.0.x versions for stability. Many thanks!
+ *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed #235 by no longer forwarding 'Host:' header when
+ request ':authority' is known. Improved test case that did not catch that
+ the previous 'fix' was incorrect.
+
+ *) mod_proxy_hcheck: hcmethod now allows for HTTP/1.1 requests
+ using GET11, HEAD11 and/or OPTIONS11. [Jim Jagielski]
+
+ *) mod_proxy: The AH03408 warning for a forcibly closed backend
+ connection is now logged at INFO level. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: When dumping the configuration, the existence of
+ certificate/key files is no longer tested. [Joe Orton]
+
+ *) mod_authn_core: Add expression support to AuthName and AuthType.
+ [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: when a proxy connection had handled a request using SSL, an
+ error was logged when "SSLProxyEngine" was only configured in the
+ location/proxy section and not the overall server. The connection
+ continued to work, the error log was in error. Fixed PR66190.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Re-enable workers in standard ERROR state. PR 66302.
+ [Alessandro Cavaliere <alessandro.cavalier7 unibo.it>]

+ [Alessandro Cavaliere <alessandro.cavalier7 unibo.it>]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Export mod_http2.h as public header. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_md: a new directive `MDStoreLocks` can be used on cluster
+ setups with a shared file system for `MDStoreDir` to order
+ activation of renewed certificates when several cluster nodes are
+ restarted at the same time. Store locks are not enabled by default.
+ Restored curl_easy cleanup behaviour from v2.4.14 and refactored
+ the use of curl_multi for OCSP requests to work with that.
+ Fixes <https://github.com/icing/mod_md/issues/293>.
+
+ *) core: Avoid an overflow on large inputs in ap_is_matchexp. PR 66033
+ [Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_heartmonitor: Allow "HeartbeatMaxServers 0" to use file based
+ storage instead of slotmem. Needed after setting
+ HeartbeatMaxServers default to the documented value 10 in 2.4.54.
+ PR 66131. [Jérôme Billiras]
+

+
+Changes with Apache 2.4.54

+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2022-30522: mod_sed denial of service
+ (cve.mitre.org)
+ If Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 is configured to do transformations
+ with mod_sed in contexts where the input to mod_sed may be very

+ ap_strcmp_match() (cve.mitre.org)
+ Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may crash or disclose
+ information due to a read beyond bounds in ap_strcmp_match()
+ when provided with an extremely large input buffer. While no
+ code distributed with the server can be coerced into such a

+
+ *) mod_md: a bug was fixed that caused very large MDomains
+ with the combined DNS names exceeding ~7k to fail, as

+ with more than MAX_INT/2 characters, counting quotes double.
+ Credit to <ge...@zippenhop.com> for finding this.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_md: the `MDCertificateAuthority` directive can take more than one URL/name of
+ an ACME CA. This gives a failover for renewals when several consecutive attempts
+ to get a certificate failed.
+ A new directive was added: `MDRetryDelay` sets the delay of retries.
+ A new directive was added: `MDRetryFailover` sets the number of errored

+ Fixes <https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/231>.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+

+ Thanks to @marcstern for finding this. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_heartmonitor: Set the documented default value
+ "10" for HeartbeatMaxServers instead of "0". With "0"
+ no shared memory slotmem was initialized. [Rainer Jung]
+
+ *) mod_md: added support for managing certificates via a

+ *) mod_md: adding v2.4.8 with the following changes
+ - Added support for ACME External Account Binding (EAB).
+ Use the new directive `MDExternalAccountBinding` to provide the
+ server with the value for key identifier and hmac as provided by
+ your CA.
+ While working on some servers, EAB handling is not uniform
+ across CAs. First tests with a Sectigo Certificate Manager in
+ demo mode are successful. But ZeroSSL, for example, seems to
+ regard EAB values as a one-time-use-only thing, which makes them
+ fail if you create a seconde account or retry the creation of the
+ first account with the same EAB.
+ - The directive 'MDCertificateAuthority' now checks if its parameter
+ is a http/https url or one of a set of known names. Those are
+ 'LetsEncrypt', 'LetsEncrypt-Test', 'Buypass' and 'Buypass-Test'
+ for now and they are not case-sensitive.
+ The default of LetsEncrypt is unchanged.
+ - `MDContactEmail` can now be specified inside a `<MDomain dnsname>`
+ section.
+ - Treating 401 HTTP status codes for orders like 403, since some ACME
+ servers seem to prefer that for accessing oders from other accounts.
+ - When retrieving certificate chains, try to read the response even
+ if the HTTP Content-Type is unrecognized.
+ - Fixed a bug that reset the error counter of a certificate renewal
+ and prevented the increasing delays in further attempts.
+ - Fixed the renewal process giving up every time on an already existing
+ order with some invalid domains. Now, if such are seen in a previous
+ order, a new order is created for a clean start over again.
+ See <https://github.com/icing/mod_md/issues/268>
+ - Fixed a mixup in md-status handler when static certificate files
+ and renewal was configured at the same time.

+ It was found that the fix for CVE-2021-41773 in Apache HTTP

+ vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49 (cve.mitre.org)
+ A flaw was found in a change made to path normalization in
+ Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49. An attacker could use a path
+ traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the expected
+ document root.
+ If files outside of the document root are not protected by
+ "require all denied" these requests can succeed. Additionally
+ this flaw could leak the source of interpreted files like CGI
+ scripts.
+ This issue is known to be exploited in the wild.
+ This issue only affects Apache 2.4.49 and not earlier versions.

+
+ *) core: Adding SSL related inquiry functions to the server API.
+ These function are always available, even when no module providing
+ SSL is loaded. They provide their own "shadowing" implementation for
+ the optional functions of similar name that mod_ssl and impersonators
+ of mod_ssl provide.
+ This enables loading of several SSL providing modules when all but
+ one of them registers itself into the new hooks. Two old-style SSL
+ modules will not work, as they replace the others optional functions
+ with their own.
+ Modules using the old-style optional functions will continue to work
+ as core supplies its own versions of those.
+ The following has been added so far:
+ - ap_ssl_conn_is_ssl() to query if a connection is using SSL.
+ - ap_ssl_var_lookup() to query SSL related variables for a
+ server/connection/request.
+ - Hooks for 'ssl_conn_is_ssl' and 'ssl_var_lookup' where modules
+ providing SSL can install their own value supplying functions.
+ - ap_ssl_add_cert_files() to enable other modules like mod_md to provide
+ certificate and keys for an SSL module like mod_ssl.
+ - ap_ssl_add_fallback_cert_files() to enable other modules like mod_md to
+ provide a fallback certificate in case no 'proper' certificate is
+ available for an SSL module like mod_ssl.
+ - ap_ssl_answer_challenge() to enable other modules like mod_md to
+ provide a certificate as used in the RFC 8555 'tls-alpn-01' challenge
+ for the ACME protocol for an SSL module like mod_ssl. The function
+ and its hook provide PEM encoded data instead of file names.
+ - Hooks for 'ssl_add_cert_files', 'ssl_add_fallback_cert_files' and
+ 'ssl_answer_challenge' where modules like mod_md can provide providers
+ to the above mentioned functions.
+ - These functions reside in the new 'http_ssl.h' header file.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) core/mod_ssl/mod_md: adding OCSP response provisioning as core feature. This
+ allows modules to access and provide OCSP response data without being tied
+ of each other. The data is exchanged in standard, portable formats (PEM encoded
+ certificates and DER encoded responses), so that the actual SSL/crypto
+ implementations used by the modules are independant of each other.
+ Registration and retrieval happen in the context of a server (server_rec)
+ which modules may use to decide if they are configured for this or not.
+ The area of changes:
+ 1. core: defines 2 functions in include/http_ssl.h, so that modules may
+ register a certificate, together with its issuer certificate for OCSP
+ response provisioning and ask for current response data (DER bytes) later.
+ Also, 2 hooks are defined that allow modules to implement this OCSP
+ provisioning.
+ 2. mod_ssl uses the new functions, in addition to what it did already, to
+ register its certificates this way. If no one is interested in providing
+ OCSP, it falls back to its own (if configured) stapling implementation.
+ 3. mod_md registers itself at the core hooks for OCSP provisioning. Depending
+ on configuration, it will accept registrations of its own certificates only,
+ all certificates or none.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_md: v2.4.0 with improvements and bugfixes
+ - MDPrivateKeys allows the specification of several types. Beside "RSA" plus
+ optional key lengths elliptic curves can be configured. This means you can
+ have multiple certificates for a Managed Domain with different key types.
+ With ```MDPrivateKeys secp384r1 rsa2048``` you get one ECDSA and one RSA
+ certificate and all modern client will use the shorter ECDSA, while older
+ client will get the RSA certificate.
+ Many thanks to @tlhackque who pushed and helped on this.
+ - Support added for MDomains consisting of a wildcard. Configuring
+ ```MDomain *.host.net``` will match all virtual hosts matching that pattern
+ and obtain one certificate for it (assuming you have 'dns-01' challenge
+ support configured). Addresses #239.
+ - Removed support for ACMEv1 servers. The only known installation used to
+ be Let's Encrypt which has disabled that version more than a year ago for
+ new accounts.
+ - Andreas Ulm (<https://github.com/root360-AndreasUlm>) implemented the
+ ```renewing``` call to ```MDMessageCmd``` that can deny a certificate
+ renewal attempt. This is useful in clustered installations, as
+ discussed in #233).
+ - New event ```challenge-setup:<type>:<domain>```, triggered when the
+ challenge data for a domain has been created. This is invoked before the
+ ACME server is told to check for it. The type is one of the ACME challenge
+ types. This is invoked for every DNS name in a MDomain.
+ - The max delay for retries has been raised to daily (this is like all
+ retries jittered somewhat to avoid repeats at fixed time of day).
+ - Certain error codes reported by the ACME server that indicate a problem
+ with the configured data now immediately switch to daily retries. For
+ example: if the ACME server rejects a contact email or a domain name,
+ frequent retries will most likely not solve the problem. But daily retries
+ still make sense as there might be an error at the server and un-supervised
+ certificate renewal is the goal. Refs #222.
+ - Test case and work around for domain names > 64 octets. Fixes #227.
+ When the first DNS name of an MD is longer than 63 octets, the certificate
+ request will not contain a CN field, but leave it up to the CA to choose one.
+ Currently, Lets Encrypt looks for a shorter name in the SAN list given and
+ fails the request if none is found. But it is really up to the CA (and what
+ browsers/libs accept here) and may change over the years. That is why
+ the decision is best made at the CA.
+ - Retry delays now have a random +/-[0-50]% modification applied to let
+ retries from several servers spread out more, should they have been
+ restarted at the same time of day.
+ - Fixed several places where the 'badNonce' return code from an ACME server
+ was not handled correctly. The test server 'pebble' simulates this behaviour
+ by default and helps nicely in verifying this behaviour. Thanks, pebble!
+ - Set the default `MDActivationDelay` to 0. This was confusing to users that
+ new certificates were deemed not usably before a day of delay. When clocks are
+ correct, using a new certificate right away should not pose a problem.
+ - When handling ACME authorization resources, the module no longer requires
+ the server to return a "Location" header, as was necessary in ACMEv1.
+ Fixes #216.
+ - Fixed a theoretical uninitialized read when testing for JSON error responses
+ from the ACME CA. Reported at <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64297>.
+ - ACME problem reports from CAs that include parameters in the Content-Type
+ header are handled correctly. (Previously, the problem text would not be
+ reported and retries could exceed CA limits.)
+ - Account Update transactions to V2 CAs now use the correct POST-AS-GET method.
+ Previously, an empty JSON object was sent - which apparently LE accepted,
+ but others reject.
