The lua_websocket_read function in lua_request.c in the mod_lua module in the Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (child-process crash) by sending a crafted WebSocket Ping frame after a Lua script has called the wsupgrade function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a remote user crash an Apache HTTP Server child process when a specific Lua WebSocket feature is in use. It is mainly an availability risk, not described as data theft or code execution. Business urgency depends on whether mod_lua and Lua WebSocket upgrade scripts are deployed on exposed servers. Exposure is likely limited to Apache HTTP Server deployments using mod_lua with Lua scripts that call wsupgrade for WebSocket handling. Internet-facing services with that configuration have higher availability risk. Standard Apache installations without mod_lua or without this Lua WebSocket path are less likely exposed. Treat as a targeted availability issue. Prioritize remediation for public Apache servers using Lua WebSocket functionality, especially where service interruption affects revenue, customer access, or operational commitments. It is lower priority for systems without mod_lua or this WebSocket path. Mitigation focus: Apply vendor-supported Apache HTTP Server updates containing the mod_lua fix.; Review Apache and distribution advisories for the exact fixed package for each platform.; Prioritize exposed servers running mod_lua and Lua WebSocket wsupgrade scripts..
