Vulnerabilities fixed at ​https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html One is high:

high: mod_proxy SSRF (CVE-2021-40438)

    A crafted request uri-path can cause mod_proxy to forward the request to an origin server choosen by the remote user.

    This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.48 and earlier.

    Acknowledgements: The issue was discovered by the Apache HTTP security team while analysing CVE-2021-36160

Changes with Apache 2.4.49

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2021-40438 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_proxy: Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilty [Yann Ylavic]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2021-39275 (cve.mitre.org)
     core: ap_escape_quotes buffer overflow

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2021-36160 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_proxy_uwsgi: Out of bound read vulnerability [Yann Ylavic]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2021-34798 (cve.mitre.org)
     core: null pointer dereference on malformed request

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2021-33193 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_http2: Request splitting vulnerability with mod_proxy [Stefan Eissing]

  *) core/mod_proxy/mod_ssl:
     Adding `outgoing` flag to conn_rec, indicating a connection is
     initiated by the server to somewhere, in contrast to incoming
     connections from clients.
     Adding 'ap_ssl_bind_outgoing()` function that marks a connection
     as outgoing and is used by mod_proxy instead of the previous
     optional function `ssl_engine_set`. This enables other SSL
     module to secure proxy connections.
     The optional functions `ssl_engine_set`, `ssl_engine_disable` and
     `ssl_proxy_enable` are now provided by the core to have backward
     compatibility with non-httpd modules that might use them. mod_ssl
     itself no longer registers these functions, but keeps them in its
     header for backward compatibility.
     The core provided optional function wrap any registered function
     like it was done for `ssl_is_ssl`.
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_ssl: Support logging private key material for use with
     wireshark via log file given by SSLKEYLOGFILE environment
     variable.  Requires OpenSSL 1.1.1.  PR 63391.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_proxy: Do not canonicalize the proxied URL when both "nocanon" and
     "ProxyPassInterpolateEnv On" are configured.  PR 65549.
     [Joel Self <joelself gmail.com>]

  *) mpm_event: Fix children processes possibly not stopped on graceful
     restart.  PR 63169.  [Joel Self <joelself gmail.com>]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix a potential infinite loop when tunneling Upgrade(d)
     protocols from mod_proxy_http, and a timeout triggering falsely when
     using mod_proxy_wstunnel, mod_proxy_connect or mod_proxy_http with
     upgrade= setting.  PRs 65521 and 65519.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_unique_id: Reduce the time window where duplicates may be generated
     PR 65159
     [Christophe Jaillet]

  *) mpm_prefork: Block signals for child_init hooks to prevent potential
     threads created from there to catch MPM's signals.
     [Ruediger Pluem, Yann Ylavic]

  *) Revert "mod_unique_id: Fix potential duplicated ID generation under heavy load.
     PR 65159" added in 2.4.47.
     This causes issue on Windows.
     [Christophe Jaillet]

  *) mod_proxy_uwsgi: Fix PATH_INFO setting for generic worker.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_md: Certificate/keys pairs are verified as matching before a renewal is accepted
     as successful or a staged renewal is replacing the existing certificates.
     This avoid potential mess ups in the md store file system to render the active
     certificates non-working. [@mkauf]

  *) mod_proxy: Faster unix socket path parsing in the "proxy:" URL.
     [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_ssl: tighten the handling of ALPN for outgoing (proxy)
     connections. If ALPN protocols are provided and sent to the
     remote server, the received protocol selected is inspected
     and checked for a match. Without match, the peer handshake
     fails.
     An exception is the proposal of "http/1.1" where it is
     accepted if the remote server did not answer ALPN with
     a selected protocol. This accomodates for hosts that do
     not observe/support ALPN and speak http/1.x be default.

  *) mod_proxy: Fix possible reuse/merging of Proxy(Pass)Match worker instances
     with others when their URLs contain a '$' substitution.  PR 65419 + 65429.
     [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_dav: Add method_precondition hook. WebDAV extensions define
     conditions that must exist before a WebDAV method can be executed.
     This hook allows a WebDAV extension to verify these preconditions.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Add hooks deliver_report and gather_reports to mod_dav.h. Allows other
     modules apart from versioning implementations to handle the REPORT method.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Add dav_get_provider(), dav_open_lockdb(), dav_close_lockdb() and
     dav_get_resource() to mod_dav.h. [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: fix ap_escape_quotes substitution logic. [Eric Covener]

  *) Easy patches: synch 2.4.x and trunk
     - mod_auth_basic: Use ap_cstr_casecmp instead of strcasecmp.
     - mod_ldap: log and abort locking errors.
     - mod_ldap: style fix for r1831165
     - mod_ldap: build break fix for r1831165
     - mod_deflate: Avoid hard-coded "%ld" format strings in mod_deflate's logging statements
     - mod_deflate: Use apr_uint64_t instead of uint64_t (follow up to r1849590)
     - mod_forensic: Follow up to r1856490: missing one mod_log_forensic test_char_table case.
     - mod_rewrite: Save a few cycles.
     - mod_request: Fix a comment (missing '_' in 'keep_body') and some style issues
     - core: remove extra whitespace in HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
    [Christophe Jaillet]

  *) core/mpm: add hook 'child_stopping` that gets called when the MPM is
     stopping a child process. The additional `graceful` parameter allows
     registered hooks to free resources early during a graceful shutdown.
     [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix icomplete initialization of BalancerMember(s) from the
     balancer-manager, which can lead to a crash.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mpm_event: Fix graceful stop/restart of children processes if connections
     are in lingering close for too long.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_md: fixed a potential null pointer dereference if ACME/OCSP
     server returned 2xx responses without content type. Reported by chuangwen.
     [chuangwen, Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_md:
     - Domain names in `<MDomain ...>` can now appear in quoted form.
     - Fixed a failure in ACME challenge selection that aborted further searches
       when the tls-alpn-01 method did not seem to be suitable.
     - Changed the tls-alpn-01 setup to only become unsuitable when none of the
       dns names showed support for a configured 'Protocols ... acme-tls/1'. This
       allows use of tls-alpn-01 for dns names that are not mapped to a VirtualHost.
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) Add CPING to health check logic. [Jean-Frederic Clere]

  *) core: Split ap_create_request() from ap_read_request(). [Graham Leggett]

  *) core, h2: common ap_parse_request_line() and ap_check_request_header()
     code. [Yann Ylavic]

  *) core: Add StrictHostCheck to allow unconfigured hostnames to be
     rejected. [Eric Covener]

  *) htcacheclean: Improve help messages.  [Christophe Jaillet]
