Summary

Stack-based buffer overflow in mod_vhost_alias in Apache Software Foundation Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.68 on all platforms allows a remote client to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code via an HTTP request with a Host header exceeding 8192 bytes when VirtualDocumentRoot uses a hostname format specifier and LimitRequestFieldSize is raised above the default.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.69, which fixes this issue.
