Description Kevin Williams 2004-06-29 14:10:40 UTC

Vulnerability CAN-2004-0493 has been announced by its discoverer, before 2.0.50 could be released. It is a remote exploit which allows an attacker to cause the server to allocate increasing amounts of memory until system memory is exhausted or until process limits are reached, depending on the platform and configuration.

This problem will be resolved in 2.0.50. To resolve this problem with 2.0.47, 2.0.48 or 2.0.49, apply the patch at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.0.49/CAN-2004-0493.patch.

The patch has not been tested with earlier releases.
