CVE-2015-0253

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.12 - Denial of Service via Missing Request Method

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The read_request_line function in server/protocol.c in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.12 does not initialize the protocol structure member, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and process crash) by sending a request that lacks a method to an installation that enables the INCLUDES filter and has an ErrorDocument 400 directive specifying a local URI.
