This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Apache HTTP server. The vulnerability exists in the mod_proxy module and is due to an error handling malformed HTTP headers. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can leverage this vulnerability by sending a malicious request to the target server. Successful exploitation would result in a denial of service condition on the target.
