AI-Generated

Apache HTTP Server versions prior to 2.4.69 are vulnerable due to missing authentication checks in mod_auth_digest, allowing unauthenticated remote clients to trigger a denial of service by sending forged Authorization headers when Digest authentication is enabled. This vulnerability can lead to forced re-authentication, disrupting service availability. Administrators of affected Apache servers should prioritize upgrading to version 2.4.69 to mitigate this risk.
