Little activity on this, no one packager evident, so assigning globally.

Comment 2 Nicolas Salguero 2024-04-11 14:01:05 CEST

Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:

The mod_jk component of Apache Tomcat Connectors in some circumstances, such as when a configuration included "JkOptions +ForwardDirectories" but the configuration did not provide explicit mounts for all possible proxied requests, mod_jk would use an implicit mapping and map the request to the first defined worker. Such an implicit mapping could result in the unintended exposure of the status worker and/or bypass security constraints configured in httpd. As of JK 1.2.49, the implicit mapping functionality has been removed and all mappings must now be via explicit configuration. (CVE-2023-41081)
