Summary0000416: httpd - patch for CVE-2023-27522
DescriptionThis might be too soon to discuss something like this, and I understand if so.

I've been waiting for Red Hat to patch CVE-2023-27522 in httpd in RHEL 9:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2176211

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2023-27522

In theory with the recent announcement, would it be possible to patch this in AlmaLinux 9 even though it hasn't yet been patched in RHEL 9?

I believe the apache patch is at:

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=r1908094

I'm thinking perhaps the reason Red Hat hasn't patched it yet is because Apache rated it as moderate, but NIST has rated it as high:

Thanks for your help.

Hi! It's not too soon, it's just the right time )
We're going to implement Testing repo for such packages that are requested by community / patched by us and not exactly 1:1 RHEL, so community will be able to check them before release to stable repos.
And we can start with CVE-2023-27522. Are you ready to help with testing?

OK, testing repo is not ready yes so here is the build:
https://build.almalinux.org/build/7051

To add it to your system please do:
curl https://build.almalinux.org/pulp/content/builds/AlmaLinux-9-x86_64-7051-br/config.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/almalinux-cve-2023-27522.repo

Then update and check how it works.

Thanks so much for the quick update. It worked great. Sorry for the delay - for some reason, I didn't get an email when you added your comment.

I saw the package come through in the new testing repo too. All looks good from what I can see.
