✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: - Those who do not require multi-language response headers can remove or disable the `mod_headers` and `mod_mime` modules, or remove Content-Language directives from their configuration. - Systems not using these modules in combination are not affected. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, disable the `mod_http2` module if HTTP/2 protocol support is not required. This can be achieved by commenting out or removing the `LoadModule http2_module modules/mod_http2.so` line in the Apache HTTP Server configuration file (e.g., `/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf` or similar). After modifying the configuration, the httpd service must be restarted for the changes to take effect. This action may impact services relying on HTTP/2.
