HTTP: Apache apr-util IPv6 URI Parsing Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Apache web server version 2.0.50 and earlier. A successful attack can lead to denial of service.
Extended Description
The IPv6 URI parsing routines in the apr-util library for Apache 2.0.50 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (child process crash) via a certain URI, as demonstrated using the Codenomicon HTTP Test Tool.
