Apache has issued patches to address two security vulnerabilities, including a path traversal and file disclosure flaw in its HTTP server that it said is being actively exploited in the wild. "A flaw was found in a change made to path normalization in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49. An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the expected document root," the open-source project maintainers noted in an advisory published Tuesday.
The venerable Apache web server has just been updated to fix a dangerous remote code execution bug. This bug is already both widely-known and trivial to exploit, with examples now circulating freely on Twitter, and a single, innocent-looking web request aimed at your server could be enough for an attacker to take it over completely.
Apache Software has quickly issued a fix for a zero-day security bug in the Apache HTTP Server, which was first reported to the project last week. Path traversal issues allow unauthorized people to access files on a web server, by tricking either the web server or the web application running on it into returning files that exist outside of the web root folder.
The Apache Software Foundation has released version 2.4.50 of the HTTP Web Server to address two vulnerabilities, one of which is an actively exploited path traversal and file disclosure flaw.The Apache HTTP Server is an open-source, cross-platform web server that is extremely popular for being versatile, robust, and free.

Google on Thursday pushed urgent security fixes for its Chrome browser, including a pair of new security weaknesses that the company said are being exploited in the wild, making them the fourth and fifth actively zero-days plugged this month alone. As is usually the case, the tech giant has refrained from sharing any additional details regarding how these zero-day vulnerabilities were used in attacks until a majority of users are updated with the patches, but noted that it's aware that "Exploits for CVE-2021-37975 and CVE-2021-37976 exist in the wild."
Google has pushed out an emergency Chrome update to fix yet another pair of zero days - the second pair this month - that are being exploited in the wild. On Thursday evening, the web Goliath released the Chrome 94.0.4606.71 stable channel release for Windows, Mac and Linux to fix the two zero-days, which were included in an update with a total of four security fixes.

An unpatched stored cross-site scripting bug in Apple's AirTag "Lost Mode" could open up users to a cornucopia of web-based attacks, including credential-harvesting, click-jacking, malware delivery, token theft and more. If it's further afield, the AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in Apple's Find My network.
Apple on Thursday released security updates to fix multiple security vulnerabilities in older versions of iOS and macOS that it says have been detected in exploits in the wild, in addition to expanding patches for a previously plugged security weakness abused by NSO Group's Pegasus surveillance tool to target iPhone users. Chief among them is CVE-2021-30869, a type confusion flaw that resides in the kernel component XNU developed by Apple that could cause a malicious application to execute arbitrary code with the highest privileges.
