CVE-2024-39884

Description

A flaw was found in httpd. The fix for CVE-2024-38476 ignores some uses of the legacy content-type based configuration of handlers. "AddType" and similar configurations, 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.

Statement

The httpd package as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8, 9 and in Red Hat JBoss Core Services is not affected by this vulnerability because the vulnerable code was introduced in a newer version of httpd.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
