Exploit Code Released for Apache 2.x Memory Leak - Remote exploitation of a memory leak in the Apache HTTP Server causes the daemon to over utilize system resources on an affected system. The problem is HTTP Server's handling of large chunks of consecutive linefeed characters. The web server allocates an eighty-byte buffer for each linefeed character without specifying an upper limit for allocation. Consequently, an attacker can remotely exhaust system resources by generating many requests containing these characters. added by Radost
