Original Bulletin:

- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------

critical: Path Traversal and Remote Code Execution in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49 
  and 2.4.50 (incomplete fix of CVE-2021-41773) (CVE-2021-42013)

It was found that the fix for CVE-2021-41773 in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.50 was 
insufficient. An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files 
outside the directories configured by Alias-like directives.

If files outside of these directories are not protected by the usual default 
configuration "require all denied", these requests can succeed. If CGI scripts 
are also enabled for these aliased pathes, this could allow for remote code execution.

This issue only affects Apache 2.4.49 and Apache 2.4.50 and not earlier versions.
