CVE-2009-1891

Publication date 10 July 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The mod_deflate module in Apache httpd 2.2.11 and earlier compresses large files until completion even after the associated network connection is closed, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption).
