Descriptions

The cache_merge_headers_out function in modules/cache/cache_util.c in the mod_cache module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an empty HTTP Content-Type header.

La función cache_merge_headers_out en modules/cache/cache_util.c en el módulo mod_cache en el servidor Apache HTTP anterior a 2.4.11 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero nulo y caída de la aplicación) a través de una cabecera HTTP Content-Type vacía.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the mod_cache httpd module handled Content-Type headers. A malicious HTTP server could cause the httpd child process to crash when the Apache HTTP server was configured to proxy to a server with caching enabled.
