Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Apache 2 mod_ssl, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) It is possible to cause mod_ssl to enter an infinite loop by aborting a SSL connection in a particular state. This causes the process to consume large amounts of CPU resources.
2) An error in mod_ssl when running in "speculative" mode can be exploited to cause an access violation via e.g. a proxy request to a remote SSL server.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in Apache 2.0.50 and prior.
