USN-8571-2: Apache HTTP Server regression

Ubuntu issues USN-8571-2 fixing an Apache HTTP Server regression that prevented startup when HTTP/2 proxying was enabled.

Ubuntu released USN-8571-2 to fix a regression introduced by USN-8571-1 in Apache HTTP Server. The earlier fix was incomplete due to a missing library symbol, causing Apache to fail to start when HTTP/2 proxying was enabled. The original advisory addressed CVE-2026-33007, a memory-handling flaw in mod_authn_socache allowing remote denial of service, and an HTTP response splitting vulnerability affecting multiple modules, credited to Pavel Kohout, Arkadi Vainbrand, Haruki Oyama, Merih Mengisteab, and Dawit Jeong.

Welsh environment regulator's FoI blunder exposes diversity data of 2,000 staff

Natural Resources Wales inadvertently exposed diversity data of about 2,000 current and former staff via a 2021 Freedom of Information spreadsheet published online.

Natural Resources Wales confirmed equality monitoring data of roughly 2,000 employees who worked between April 2013 and March 2018 was inadvertently disclosed in a spreadsheet released in 2021 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The data may have included ethnicity, disability status, religion or belief, sexual orientation, Welsh language ability, and caring responsibilities — special category data under UK GDPR. The breach was reported to the Information Commissioner's Office, the data was removed and permanently deleted, and NRW says it has found no evidence of misuse. The issue was discovered only after a member of the public alerted the regulator on 23 August 2026.
