Required action: Apply updates per vendor instructions.
CVE-2021-41773
CriticalCVSS 9.8KEVSummary
W Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49 znaleziono lukę w normalizacji ścieżek, która umożliwia atak typu path traversal. Atakujący może uzyskać dostęp do plików poza skonfigurowanymi katalogami, co może prowadzić do zdalnego wykonania kodu, jeśli skrypty CGI są włączone dla tych ścieżek.
Risk Assessment
Luka ta stwarza poważne ryzyko dla organizacji, ponieważ może prowadzić do nieautoryzowanego dostępu do plików oraz zdalnego wykonania kodu. Jest znana z aktywnego wykorzystywania w atakach w sieci.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację do Apache HTTP Server 2.4.50 lub nowszej wersji, a także wdrożenie odpowiednich zabezpieczeń, aby chronić pliki poza skonfigurowanymi katalogami.

Original NVD description (English source)
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 directories configured by Alias-like directives. If files outside of these directories are not protected by the usual default configuration "require all denied", these requests can succeed. If CGI scripts are also enabled for these aliased pathes, this could allow for remote code execution. This issue is known to be exploited in the wild. This issue only affects Apache 2.4.49 and not earlier versions. The fix in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.50 was found to be incomplete, see CVE-2021-42013.
