Package        : apache2
Version        : 2.4.10-10+deb8u14
CVE ID         : CVE-2019-0217 CVE-2019-0220

Several vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache HTTP server.

CVE-2019-0217

    A race condition in mod_auth_digest when running in a threaded
    server could allow a user with valid credentials to authenticate
    using another username, bypassing configured access control
    restrictions. The issue was discovered by Simon Kappel.

CVE-2019-0220

    Bernhard Lorenz of Alpha Strike Labs GmbH reported that URL
    normalizations were inconsistently handled. When the path component
    of a request URL contains multiple consecutive slashes ('/'),
    directives such as LocationMatch and RewriteRule must account for
    duplicates in regular expressions while other aspects of the servers    processing will implicitly collapse them.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
2.4.10-10+deb8u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
