Apache Traffic Server Host Header stack overflow in redirect (8.0.0-10.1.3)
CVE-2026-33930 Published on July 29, 2026

Apache Traffic Server: Buffer overflow via Host field that has a long string value
Apache Traffic Server copies the client Host header into a fixed-size stack buffer without a bound during redirect handling, so an over-long Host header overflows the stack when redirect following is enabled. This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 8.0.0 through 8.1.9, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.14, from 10.0.0 through 10.1.3. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, which fix the issue.
