Vulnerability Name:

CCN-12549

Published:2003-07-09
Updated:2003-07-09
Summary:Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service attack. By creating a malicious type-map file, which is used for negotiating resources, a local attacker can cause the process to enter into an infinite loop, which would cause the system to consume all available CPU resources, once Apache processes the malicious file.
