CVE-2020-9490

HIGH

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.20-2.4.43 - Denial of Service via Crafted Cache-Digest Header

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43. A specially crafted value for the 'Cache-Digest' header in a HTTP/2 request would result in a crash when the server actually tries to HTTP/2 PUSH a resource afterwards. Configuring the HTTP/2 feature via "H2Push off" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers.
