CVE-2012-1181

Apache mod_fcgid 2.3.6 - Denial of Service via FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass Directive Bypass

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

fcgid_spawn_ctl.c in the mod_fcgid module 2.3.6 for the Apache HTTP Server does not recognize the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass directive for a virtual host, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a series of HTTP requests that triggers a process count higher than the intended limit.
