CVE-2009-1890

Publication date 5 July 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The stream_reqbody_cl function in mod_proxy_http.c in the mod_proxy module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.3.3, when a reverse proxy is configured, does not properly handle an amount of streamed data that exceeds the Content-Length value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted requests.
