Description |
mod_ssl on Apache 2 contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when an attacker forces an SSL connection to abort during a particular state causing the ssl_io_input_getline function to enter into an infinite loop, resulting in a loss of availability for the Apache server.
