Apache HTTP Server 2.4.71 fixes critical mod_http2 code-execution bug
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.71 already corrects CVE-2026-119618, a critical mod_http2 bug that can let a remote attacker execute code. It hits releases 2.4.55–2.4.70 only when HTTP/2 is enabled, Red Hat says.
Apache HTTP Server already has a correction for a critical bug that matters to any team exposing the web server. CVE-2026-119618, in the HTTP/2 component mod_http2, can give a remote attacker a way to execute code on the host.
The affected line runs from 2.4.55 up to 2.4.70. The correction shipped in 2.4.71 the day before 12 November 2026. Red Hat, which distributes this server in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, says the problem applies only on systems that have HTTP/2 turned on. BleepingComputer reports that the attacker would not need to authenticate.
