Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions mod auth mellon versions prior to 0.11.1

Description The issue is related to the am read post data function, which fails to check for errors returned by the ap get client block function. This oversight allows remote attackers to craft malicious POST data, leading to a denial of service, characterized by a segmentation fault and process crash.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.11.1, update to version 0.11.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the am read post data function until a patch is available.
