Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2019-1166
Advisory Release Date: 2019-03-06 22:21 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2019-03-25 23:20 Pacific
Severity: Important

Issue Overview:

In Apache HTTP server by sending request bodies in a slow loris way to plain resources, the h2 stream for that request unnecessarily occupied a server thread cleaning up that incoming data. This affects only HTTP/2 (mod_http2) connections. (CVE-2018-17189)

A bug exists in the way mod_ssl handled client renegotiations. A remote attacker could send a carefully crafted request that would cause mod_ssl to enter a loop leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2019-0190)

In Apache HTTP Server mod_session checks the session expiry time before decoding the session. This causes session expiry time to be ignored for mod_session_cookie sessions since the expiry time is loaded when the session is decoded. (CVE-2018-17199)
