This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Apache mod_cache. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
The Apache mod_cache module is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. A remote attacker may be able to exploit this issue to crash the child process. This could lead to denial-of-service conditions if the server is using a multithreaded Multi-Processing Module (MPM).
