Description: A vulnerability was reported in the Apache web server. A remote user may be able to cause denial of service conditions.
It is reported that a remote user can establish a short-lived connection to a rarely-accessed listening socket on the target server. This may cause the Apache child process to block new connections until another connection arrives on the rarely- accessed listening socket.
The report indicates that some versions of AIX, Solaris, and Tru64 UNIX are affected, but that FreeBSD and Linux systems are not affected.
Impact: A remote user may be able to cause the target server to deny connection requests.
Solution: The vendor has developed a fixed version (2.0.49), to be available shortly at:
