Description Murray McAllister 2013-11-25 02:15:58 UTC 
It was found that mod_dontdothat did not block requests from certain clients (such as Serf-based clients). This could allow a client to bypass intended mod_dontdothat restrictions and use more resources on the server than expected. This issue affected mod_dontdothat versions 1.4.0 to 1.7.13, and 1.8.0 to 1.8.4. It has been corrected in versions 1.7.14 and 1.8.5.

mod_dontdothat is included in the subversion sources for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6; however, it is not built and shipped for those products, leaving them unaffected by this flaw.
