Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in Apache 2 allowing malicious, local users or faulty CGI scripts to cause a Denial of Service.
The problem is that "mod_cgi" doesn't handle output to STDERR correctly, which may cause Apache to hang when sending more than 4096 bytes to STDERR.
Solution:
Update to version 2.0.50.
Changelog:
2004-10-04: Updated "Solution" section.
