Description

The mod_proxy_ajp module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.12 through 2.2.21 places a worker node into an error state upon detection of a long request-processing time, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker consumption) via an expensive request.

Affected configurations

• apache http server 2.2.12 • apache http server 2.2.13 • apache http server 2.2.14 • apache http server 2.2.15 • apache http server 2.2.16 • apache http server 2.2.17 • apache http server 2.2.18 • apache http server 2.2.19 • apache http server 2.2.20 • apache http server 2.2.21
