CVE-2025-49812: Apache HTTP Server: mod_ssl TLS upgrade attack
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 29/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.74% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 55.2% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache HTTP Server 2.4.64; azl3 httpd 2.4.62-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 2.4.64-1; azl3 httpd 2.4.64-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 2.4.64-1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache HTTP Server 2.4.64; azl3 httpd 2.4.62-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 2.4.64-1; azl3 httpd 2.4.64-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 2.4.64-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In some mod_ssl configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions through to 2.4.63, an HTTP desynchronisation attack allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to hijack an HTTP session via a TLS upgrade. Only configurations using "SSLEngine optional" to enable TLS upgrades are affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.64, which removes support for TLS upgrade.
