CVE-2009-1890
Apache HTTP Server < 2.2.12 - Denial of Service via Streamed Data Exceeding Content-Length
Title source: llmDescription
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.
