CRITICAL 9.1EPSS 6.46%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.46%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may crash or disclose information due to a read beyond bounds in ap_strcmp_match() when provided with an extremely large input buffer. While no code distributed with the server can be coerced into such a call, third-party modules or lua scripts that use ap_strcmp_match() may hypothetically be affected.
