Apache 2.4.6 Remote DoS

Synopsis

Apache 2.4.6 Remote DoS

Description

According to its banner, the version of Apache 2.4.x running on the remote host is version 2.4.6. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the mod_cache module involving a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker may be able to specially craft a request designed to cause a denial of service.

Note that the scanner has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache version 2.4.7 or later. Alternatively, ensure that the affected module is not in use.
