CVE-2009-1890

Apache HTTP Server < 2.2.12 - Denial of Service via Streamed Data Exceeding Content-Length

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

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.
