| /// File Name: | MDVSA-2009-149.txt | Description:
| Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2009-149 - The stream_reqbody_cl function in mod_proxy_http.c in the mod_proxy module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.3.3, when a reverse proxy is configured, does not properly handle an amount of streamed data that exceeds the Content-Length value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted requests. Fixed a potential Denial-of-Service attack against mod_deflate or other modules, by forcing the server to consume CPU time in compressing a large file after a client disconnects. This update provides fixes for these vulnerabilities. | | Homepage: | http://www.mandriva.com/security/ | | File Size: | 25582 | | Related CVE(s): | CVE-2009-1890, CVE-2009-1891 | | Last Modified: | Jul 9 14:00:52 2009 | | MD5 Checksum: | 28d8442d0e4d1cbdd013bef37a6ca810 |
