Ubuntu 14.04 Apache Backports for CVE-2018-17199 & CVE-2016-4975












0















A Trustwave scan of our client's server, shows a Fail on 2 Apache vulnerabilities. CVE-2016-4975 and CVE-2018-17199.



Generally all the vulnerabilities they point out, are remediated by keeping up on the standard Trusty Ubuntu repositories and backport patches. But these two show that they have not been patched yet, and unsure if they will be.

https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2018/CVE-2018-17199.html



Can someone explain if this is actually a concern, how I can remediate it, or if it requires going outside of the normal Ubuntu repository and upgrading Apache?



Thanks
