Description

cache_util.c in the mod_cache module in Apache HTTP Server (httpd), when caching is enabled and a threaded Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (child processing handler crash) via a request with the (1) s-maxage, (2) max-age, (3) min-fresh, or (4) max-stale Cache-Control headers without a value.

  • oracle-linux-upgrade-httpd
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-httpd-devel
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-httpd-manual
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-httpd-suexec
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-mod_ssl
