More information:

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Apache HTTP server. An attacker could send proxied requests to arbitrary servers, corrupt memory in some setups involving third-party modules, and cause the server to crash.

• CVE-2021-34798

  Malformed requests may cause the server to dereference a NULL pointer.

• CVE-2021-39275

  ap_escape_quotes() may write beyond the end of a buffer when given malicious input. No included modules pass untrusted data to these functions, but third-party / external modules may.

• CVE-2021-40438

  A crafted request uri-path can cause mod_proxy to forward the request to an origin server choosen by the remote user.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.25-3+deb9u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.
