resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-36387)

incorrectly sent certain request URLs with incorrect encodings to backends.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication.

certain response headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to obtain sensitive information, execute local scripts, or perform SSRF
attacks. (CVE-2024-38476)

Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module
incorrectly handled certain requests. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
