CVE-2026-43951 is a moderate-severity out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server affecting versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.67. The flaw occurs in the merge_response_headers processing path when mod_headers and mod_mime are used in conjunction with multiple response languages. Under these conditions, incorrect bounds handling can trigger an out-of-bounds read in merge_response_headers, leading to child process crashes. The issue was fixed in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.68.
