August 2014 by Vigil@nce
This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can create a memory leak in WinNT MPM of Apache httpd,
in order to trigger a denial of service.
Impacted products: Apache httpd
Severity: 2/4
Creation date: 17/07/2014
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The WinNT MPM (Multi-Processing Module) is used when Apache httpd
is installed on Windows.
However, the memory allocated to process some queries is never
freed.
An attacker can therefore create a memory leak in WinNT MPM of
Apache httpd, in order to trigger a denial of service.
