Apache has been updated to version 2.4.59 to fix CVE-2024-27316, CVE-2024-24795 and CVE-2023-38709. CVE-2024-27316: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP/2 DoS by memory exhaustion on endless continuation frames (cve.mitre.org) HTTP/2 incoming headers exceeding the limit are temporarily buffered in nghttp2 in order to generate an informative HTTP 413 response. If a client does not stop sending headers, this leads to memory exhaustion.
