CVE-2014-3581

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache HTTP Server versions prior to 2.4.11

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and application crash, by sending an empty HTTP Content-Type header. This is due to a problem in the cache merge headers out function in the mod cache module.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.4.11, update to version 2.4.11 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the mod cache module until a patch is applied.
