Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy_ajp heap-based buffer over-read in ajp_parse_data()

IdentifiersCVE-2026-34059CWE-126· Buffer Over-read

CVE-2026-34059 is a buffer over-read vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server affecting versions through 2.4.66. The flaw is in the mod_proxy_ajp module, specifically in the ajp_parse_data() function, where malformed AJP data can trigger a heap-based buffer over-read. This can result in unintended disclosure of process memory contents. Apache characterized the issue as low severity and fixed it in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.67.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can cause memory disclosure from the Apache HTTP Server process due to a heap-based over-read in mod_proxy_ajp. Based on the available information, the primary impact is information disclosure rather than code execution or privilege escalation.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce exposure by disabling mod_proxy_ajp where it is not required and limiting or removing AJP back-end usage. Restrict access paths and network reachability associated with AJP proxying to trusted systems only until the fixed version can be deployed. Specific vendor-provided mitigations beyond upgrading were not provided in the available content.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Apache HTTP Server to version 2.4.67 or later. Apache states that version 2.4.67 fixes CVE-2026-34059.
