CVE-2024-27316: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP/2 DoS by memory exhaustion on
endless continuation frames (cve.mitre.org)
HTTP/2 incoming headers exceeding the limit are temporarily buffered in
nghttp2 in order to generate an informative HTTP 413
response. If a client does not stop sending headers, this leads
to memory exhaustion.

CVE-2024-24795: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP Response Splitting in multiple
modules (cve.mitre.org)
HTTP Response splitting in multiple modules in Apache HTTP Server allows
an attacker that can inject malicious response

attack.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.59, which fixes this
issue.
