mod_proxy_wstunnel tunneling of non Upgraded connections

Published Jun 10, 2021

Description

Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.6 to 2.4.46 mod_proxy_wstunnel configured on an URL that is not necessarily Upgraded by the origin server was tunneling the whole connection regardless, thus allowing for subsequent requests on the same connection to pass through with no HTTP validation, authentication or authorization possibly configured.

Remediation

Red Hat mitigation

Only configurations which use mod_proxy_wstunnel are affected by this flaw. It is also safe to comment-out the "LoadModule proxy_wstunnel_module ... " line in /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-proxy.conf for configurations which do not rely on a websockets reverse proxy.
