USN-7968-1: Apache HTTP Server vulnerabilities

Ubuntu • January 19, 2026

It was discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled failed ACME certificate renewals. This could result in renewal attempts to be repeated without delays, possibly leading to a denial of service. ( CVE-2025-55753 ) Anthony Parfenov discovered that the Apache HTTP Server would pass the query string to cmd directives when configured with Server Side Includes (SSI) enabled and mod_cgid. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2025-58098 ) Mattias Åsander discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly neutralized certain environment variables. This could result in unexpectedly superseding variables calculated by the server for CGI programs. ( CVE-2025-65082 ) Mattias Åsander discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled AllowOverride FileInfo...

( CVE-2025-65082 ) Mattias Åsander discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled AllowOverride FileInfo configurations when using mod_userdir with suexec. An attacker with access to use the RequestHeader directive in htaccess can cause some CGI scripts to run under an unexpected userid. ( CVE-2025-66200 )

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
