Descriptions

The handle_headers function in mod_proxy_fcgi.c in the mod_proxy_fcgi module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.10 allows remote FastCGI servers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and daemon crash) via long response headers.

La función handle_headers en mod_proxy_fcgi.c en el módulo mod_proxy_fcgi en Apache HTTP Server 2.4.10 permite a servidores remotoos FastCGI causar una denegación de servicio (sobre lectura de buffer y caída del demonio) a través de cabeceras de respuesta largas.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in mod_proxy_fcgi's handle_headers() function. A malicious FastCGI server that httpd is configured to connect to could send a carefully crafted response that would cause an httpd child process handling the request to crash.

Red Hat Ceph Storage is a massively scalable, open, software-defined storage platform that combines the most stable version of the Ceph storage system with a Ceph management platform, deployment tools, and support services. The mod_proxy_fcgi package provides a proxy module for the Apache 2.2 HTTP server. A buffer overflow flaw was found in mod_proxy_fcgi's handle_headers() function. A malicious FastCGI server that httpd is configured to connect to could send a carefully crafted response that would cause an httpd child process handling the request to crash.
