Technical detail
From CISA
Apache HTTP Server contains an improper escaping of output vulnerability in mod_rewrite that allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution or source code disclosure.
This vulnerability affects a common open-source component, third-party library, or a protocol used by different products. Please check with specific vendors for information on patching status. For more information, please see: https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html ; https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-38475
