CVE-2020-11993
Configuring the LogLevel of mod_http2 above "info" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 56.4%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
Description
Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43 When trace/debug was enabled for the HTTP/2 module and on certain traffic edge patterns, logging statements were made on the wrong connection, causing concurrent use of memory pools. Configuring the LogLevel of mod_http2 above "info" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers.
