Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Apache HTTP Server versions 2.0.63 and 2.2.8

Description: The issue is related to the handling of interim responses from an origin server when using the mod proxy http module. A remote HTTP server can cause a denial of service or high memory usage by sending a large number of interim responses. This is due to the ap proxy http process response function not limiting the number of forwarded interim responses.

Recommendations: For Apache HTTP Server version 2.0.63, update to a version that addresses this issue. For Apache HTTP Server version 2.2.8, update to a version that addresses this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the mod proxy http module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
