Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache HTTP Server versions prior to 2.4.10

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via crafted request data that decompresses to a much larger size. This occurs when request body decompression is enabled. The use of request body decompression is not a common configuration.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.4.10, consider disabling the deflate in filter function in the mod deflate module as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the mod deflate module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the request body decompression feature until the issue is resolved. Update to version 2.4.10 or later to resolve the issue.
