Descriptions

The mod_cgid module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.10 does not have a timeout mechanism, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process hang) via a request to a CGI script that does not read from its stdin file descriptor.

El módulo mod_cgid en Apache HTTP Server anterior a 2.4.10 no tiene un mecanismo de timeout, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (cuelgue del proceso) a través de una solicitud en una secuencia de comandos CGI que no lee desde su descriptor de ficheros stdin.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way httpd's mod_cgid module executed CGI scripts that did not read data from the standard input. A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd child process to hang indefinitely.
