Description Mark J. Cox 2005-11-25 12:45:36 UTC
fc5 tracking bug

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #171756 +++

Memory leak in the worker MPM (worker.c) for Apache 2, in certain
circumstances, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption) via aborted connections, which prevents the
memory for the transaction pool from being reused for other
connections.

This issue should also affect FC3

Comment 1 Joe Orton 2006-01-10 13:38:51 UTC
This is fixed in the FC5test2 httpd package.  (fixed since 2.1.9 on the 2.1.x
branch)
