Descriptions
The am_read_post_data function in mod_auth_mellon before 0.11.1 does not limit the amount of data read, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker process crash, web server deadlock, or memory consumption) via a large amount of POST data.
La función am_read_post_data en mod_auth_mellon en versiones anteriores a 0.11.1 no limita la cantidad de lectura de datos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del proceso trabajador, interbloqueo de servidor de red o consumo de memoria) a través de una gran cantidad de daots POST.
