NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Apache HTTP Servers mod_heartmonitor over unicast listener.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.0 through 2.4.68.
A flaw was found in the mod_heartmonitor module of the Apache HTTP Server. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability when the module is configured with a unicast listener. By sending specially crafted network traffic to the listening service, an attacker can crash the server process, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Меры по смягчению последствий
Disable the mod_heartmonitor module or restrict network access to the monitoring port:
- Disable the module:
Comment out the LoadModule directive for mod_heartmonitor in the Apache configuration (typically located in
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.confor a custom configuration file):
LoadModule heartmonitor_module modules/mod_heartmonitor.so
Then reload the web server configuration: systemctl reload httpd 2. Restrict network reachability: If mod_heartmonitor is required, configure firewall rules using firewalld to permit traffic to the HeartbeatListen unicast port only from authorized backend nodes: firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted --add-source=<TRUSTED_IP_RANGE> firewall-cmd --reload Caveat: Disabling mod_heartmonitor prevents mod_lbmethod_heartbeat from receiving backend node status, which disables heartbeat-based dynamic load balancing. Warning: Modifying Apache configuration files requires reloading or restarting httpd, which may briefly interrupt active network connections.
