Perhaps the most dangerous exploit for version 2.4.18 is , also known as "CARPE (DIEM)". apache httpd 2.4.18 exploit

An attacker can manipulate flow-control windows to force the server to allocate an excessive number of threads to a single connection. A malicious script (e

1. Critical Exploit: Local Root Privilege Escalation (CVE-2019-0211) 2. HTTP/2 Denial of Service (CVE-2016-1546)

Released in 2015, is an older version of the Apache web server that contains several significant security vulnerabilities. Because it predates numerous critical patches, systems still running this version are highly susceptible to exploits ranging from Denial of Service (DoS) to Local Root Privilege Escalation .

A malicious script (e.g., PHP or CGI) running with low privileges can modify the scoreboard to point to a malicious function. When the Apache server undergoes a graceful restart —typically triggered daily by automated tasks like logrotate —the parent root process executes the malicious code, granting the attacker full root access to the server. Impact: Complete server takeover. 2. HTTP/2 Denial of Service (CVE-2016-1546)
