Apache · Apache Http Server · CVE-2021-34798
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.48 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is related to malformed requests that can cause the server to dereference a NULL pointer, potentially leading to a denial of service. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using specially crafted HTTP requests.
**Recommendations**
For Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.48 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the server to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, monitor server logs for suspicious activity and consider implementing additional security measures to prevent malicious requests.
