Can I Upgrade to Apache version 2.2.24 or later.(Alfressco3.4d)

[visionyi]

Hi All,

Apache 2.2.17 (Win32) is installed in Alfressco3.4d. This version is affected by the multiple security vulnerabilities, including the following serious ones:
(i) denial-of-service attack introduces system memory and CPU exhaustion.
(ii) cross-site scripting attack compromises user's cookies for session hijacking.
(iii) buffer overflow vulnerability allows a hacker to conduct remote code execution.

Can I update the Apache? Are there any  compatibility problems? What should I pay attention to during the procedure?

Bit confused over here, what did u mean by

Apache 2.2.17 (Win32) is installed in Alfressco3.4d. ‍

Did u mean that you have apache running on Alfresco machine, or Alfresco is using apache web server as application server.
As far as my knowledge, your apache has nothing to do with Alfresco, it is a separate service. You can do what you want with it
Also It is time for you to ponder on the idea whether it is best practice for you to have Alfresco on windows platform. Is the instance a test instance or production?.
Why not try on LINUX plafrom, where it is more secure
