Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.63

Description:

In some mod_ssl configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions through to 
2.4.63, an HTTP desynchronisation attack allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to 
hijack an HTTP session via a TLS upgrade.

Only configurations using "SSLEngine optional" to enable TLS upgrades are 
affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.64, which removes 
support for TLS upgrade.
