Fedora 8 Update: httpd-2.2.9-1.fc8
Summary
The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, efficient, and extensible
web server.
This update includes the latest release of httpd 2.2. A security issue is
fixed in this update: A flaw was found in the handling of excessive interim
responses from an origin server when using mod_proxy_http. In a forward proxy
configuration, if a user of the proxy could be tricked into visiting a malicious
web server, the proxy could be forced into consuming a large amount of stack or
heap memory. This could lead to an eventual process crash due to stack space
exhaustion.
