REDHAT-BUG-1387605: Low severity apache http server vulnerability
There is an error in protocol parsing logic of modcluster load balancer Apache HTTP Server modules that allows attacker to cause a Segmentation Fault in the serving httpd process. The vector is modcluster service messages that are used by worker nodes to communicate their status, load and deployed applications to the modcluster balancer. With proper production configuration, the VirtualHost accepting these messages is accessible only from an internal network where worker nodes reside. The error cannot be exploited from the Internet by arbitrary clients.
