HIGH

Apache HTTP Server 2.2.0-2.2.13 DoS via Solaris Pollset Error Handling

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The Solaris pollset feature in the Event Port backend in poll/unix/port.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library before 1.3.9, as used in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.14 and other products, does not properly handle errors, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon hang) via unspecified HTTP requests, related to the prefork and event MPMs.
