Summary
CERT-Bund published security advisory WID-SEC-2026-0978 disclosing multiple vulnerabilities (CVSS Base Score 7.5, CVSS Temporal Score 6.5) in Apache Traffic Server. The vulnerabilities affect versions prior to 9.1.13 and 10.1.2 running on Linux and UNIX systems, including Debian Linux and Fedora Linux. Remote attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to conduct Denial of Service or HTTP Request Smuggling attacks. Mitigations are available.
What changed
CERT-Bund disclosed multiple security vulnerabilities in Apache Traffic Server, a widely-used HTTP/1.1 compatible caching proxy server. The vulnerabilities carry a CVSS Base Score of 7.5 (high) and allow remote attackers to perform Denial of Service attacks or HTTP Request Smuggling attacks against affected deployments.\n\nOrganizations running Apache Traffic Server on Linux or UNIX systems should immediately audit their deployments, identify affected versions (prior to 9.1.13 or 10.1.2), and apply available patches or mitigations. Unpatched proxy servers could be exploited to disrupt services or manipulate HTTP request handling, potentially affecting downstream systems and users relying on the proxy infrastructure.
What to do next
- Identify all Apache Traffic Server deployments in your infrastructure
- Apply patches to upgrade to version 9.1.13 or 10.1.2 or later
- Review proxy configurations for potential request smuggling mitigations
