ALT Linux Bugzilla – #20674

A vulnerability has been reported in the Apache mod_proxy module, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

An error exists in the mod_proxy module when functioning in reverse proxy mode. This can be exploited to consume large amounts of CPU in an affected proxy process via specially crafted proxy requests.

Fixed in svn: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=790587
