CVE-2026-48834
Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency vulnerability in Apache Answer. This issue affects Apache Answer: through 2.0.1. Unauthenticated attackers can cause a denial of service via a specially crafted Accept-Language header that triggers excessive CPU consumption during parsing. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.2, which fixes the issue.
No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.
Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.
Affected & fixed versions by distribution
Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.
No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
