Apache HTTP Server 2.4.70 fixes multiple vulnerabilities with unspecified impact in earlier 2.4.x releases
The Apache Software Foundation released Apache HTTP Server 2.4.70 on 6 November 2026, and the CERT-FR notice CERTFR-2026-AVI-1484 reports multiple vulnerabilities in all versions prior to 2.4.70, with an impact the vendor did not specify. The notice names no CVE, attack vector, authentication requirement or CVSS score, and it points to the Apache changelog CHANGES_2.4.70 as the vendor bulletin. The Apache security page opened during research has no entry for 2.4.70; its newest entry is 2.4.69, released 1 October 2026, which lists 20 CVEs (httpd.apache.org). A news report on the release says 2.4.70 carries no new CVEs and is a bug-fix and hardening release (linuxcompatible.org), so the security relevance of the fixes is not established by the sources opened and the criticity is medium.

A vulnerabilidade
CERT-FR notice CERTFR-2026-AVI-1484 reports multiple vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server, all versions prior to 2.4.70, fixed in 2.4.70 (released 6 November 2026). The notice gives no CVE, attack vector, authentication requirement, CVSS score or impact; it only says an attacker can cause a security problem the vendor did not specify. A news report (linuxcompatible.org) says 2.4.70 carries no new CVEs and is a bug-fix and hardening release, and the Apache security page had no 2.4.70 entry. So the security relevance of the fixes is not confirmed.
Onde está
The news report (linuxcompatible.org) describes the 2.4.70 changes as crash fixes in mod_authnz_ldap, overflow fixes in mod_dav_lock, and edge-case fixes in mod_cgid, mod_substitute and mod_cache. The vendor page opened did not confirm these as security issues, and the changelog is CHANGES_2.4.70.
Como foi descoberta
The articles do not say who found the issues or how. The CERT-FR notice, dated 9 November 2026, points to the vendor changelog CHANGES_2.4.70 of 6 November 2026 as the bulletin and refers readers to it for fixes. The Apache security page showed 2.4.69 (1 October 2026, 20 CVEs) as its newest entry.

Detalhes técnicos
- The CERT-FR notice only states that an attacker can cause a security problem that the vendor does not specify (cert.cyber.gouv.fr).
- The news report describes the 2.4.70 changes as crash fixes in mod_authnz_ldap, overflow fixes in mod_dav_lock, and edge-case fixes in mod_cgid, mod_substitute and mod_cache (linuxcompatible.org). These are not confirmed as security issues by the vendor page opened.
- No CVE, CVSS score, prerequisite or exploitation status for 2.4.70 was found in the sources opened.
Remediação
- Upgrade Apache HTTP Server to 2.4.70 or later, the version the CERT-FR notice names as the fix.
- Review the changelog CHANGES_2.4.70 linked in the CERT-FR notice for the authoritative list of changes, since the vendor's security page did not list them.
- Systems still on 2.4.69 or earlier should also check the per-release fix list on the vendor security page (httpd.apache.org).
Relatos divergentes
- The CERT-FR notice (cert.cyber.gouv.fr) reports multiple vulnerabilities in releases before 2.4.70 without naming any CVE.
- The news report (linuxcompatible.org, 6 November 2026) states that 2.4.70 carries no new CVEs.
- The vendor security page opened during research (httpd.apache.org) has no 2.4.70 entry, which is consistent with the news report. The vendor changelog could not be opened and remains the authoritative source.
