CVE-2021-44224

Un URI diseñado que es enviado a httpd configurado como proxy directo (ProxyRequests on) puede causar un fallo (desreferencia de puntero NULL) o, en el caso de configuraciones que mezclan declaraciones de proxy directo e inverso, puede permitir que las peticiones se dirijan a un endpoint de socket de dominio Unix declarado (Server Side Request Forgery). Este problema afecta a Apache HTTP Server versiones 2.4.7 hasta 2.4.51 (incluyéndola)

There's a null pointer dereference and server-side request forgery flaw in httpd's mod_proxy module, when it is configured to be used as a forward proxy. A crafted packet could be sent on the adjacent network to the forward proxy that could cause a crash, or potentially SSRF via misdirected Unix Domain Socket requests. In the worst case, this could cause a denial of service or compromise to confidentiality of data.
