Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2010-2791 (CCN-60883)

Assigned:2010-07-23
Published:2010-07-23
Updated:2023-02-13
Summary:mod_proxy in httpd in Apache HTTP Server 2.2.9, when running on Unix, does not close the backend connection if a timeout occurs when reading a response from a persistent connection, which allows remote attackers to obtain a potentially sensitive response intended for a different client in opportunistic circumstances via a normal HTTP request.
Note: this is the same issue as CVE-2010-2068, but for a different OS and set of affected versions.
