CVE-2012-4557  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 httpd to version 0:2.2.15-26.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd package and not the httpd package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mod_proxy_ajp module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.12 through 2.2.21 places a worker node into an error state upon detection of a long request-processing time, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker consumption) via an expensive request.
