Descriptions
The ap_proxy_ajp_request function in mod_proxy_ajp.c in mod_proxy_ajp in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x before 2.2.15 does not properly handle certain situations in which a client sends no request body, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (backend server outage) via a crafted request, related to use of a 500 error code instead of the appropriate 400 error code.
La función ap_proxy_ajp_request en mod_proxy_ajp.c en mod_proxy_ajp en the Apache HTTP Server v2.2.x en versiones anteriores a v2.2.15 no maneja adecuadamente ciertas situaciones en la cuales un cliente no envía el cuerpo de una petición, lo que permite a atacantes remotos producir una denegación de servicio (apagado del servidor del backend) a través de una petición manipulada, relacionado con el uso del código de error 500 en vez del código de error 400
Two issues have been found in the Apache HTTPD web server. mod_proxy_ajp would return the wrong status code if it encountered an error, causing a backend server to be put into an error state until the retry timeout expired. A remote attacker could send malicious requests to trigger this issue, resulting in denial of service. A flaw in the core subrequest process code was found, which could lead to a daemon crash (segfault) or disclosure of sensitive information if the headers of a subrequest were modified by modules such as mod_headers.
