CVE-2016-2146: Buffer Overflow
First published: Fri Apr 15 2016(Updated: )
The am_read_post_data function in mod_auth_mellon before 0.11.1 does not limit the amount of data read, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker process crash, web server deadlock, or memory consumption) via a large amount of POST data.
