| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in httpd's mod_charset_lite module. A heap-based buffer overflow (an out-of-bounds memory write) occurs in the finish_partial_char function when handling character set conversions. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted requests, leading to memory corruption. This issue primarily results in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by crashing the server process.
