How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:10 axis to version 0:1.2.1-1jpp_3rh or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2010:0602.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream axis package and not the axis package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mod_deflate module in Apache httpd 2.2.11 and earlier compresses large files until completion even after the associated network connection is closed, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption).
