Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Apache HTTP Server versions 2.2.x through 2.2.14
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a backend server outage. This occurs when a client sends a crafted request with no request body, causing the server to return a wrong status code. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending malicious requests, putting the backend server into an error state until the retry timeout expires.
Recommendations
For Apache HTTP Server versions 2.2.x through 2.2.14, update to version 2.2.15 or later to resolve the issue.
