HTTP: Apache Server Mod Status Race Condition Buffer Overflow
A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found in the aache server. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd child process to crash or, possibly, allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the apache user.
