Description:
The vendor has reported a vulnerability in Apache, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a Denial of Service.
The problem is that when using multiple listening sockets, a short lived connection on a rarely used socket causes the child process to hold the accept mutex, thereby preventing new connections from being served until another connection uses the socket.
This has been reported to affect Apache 2.0.48 and prior and Apache 1.3.29 and prior on some versions of AIX, Solaris, and Tru64.
Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows are not affected.
