Mick Wall has discovered a vulnerability in Apache 2, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to a handling error within the SSL engine when receiving normal HTTP requests on the SSL port of a SSL-enabled server. This causes memory leaks that eventually crash the process.
