Description

There's a null pointer dereference and server-side request forgery flaw in httpd's mod_proxy module, when it is configured to be used as a forward proxy. A crafted packet could be sent on the adjacent network to the forward proxy that could cause a crash, or potentially SSRF via misdirected Unix Domain Socket requests. In the worst case, this could cause a denial of service or compromise to confidentiality of data.
