NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd.src package and not the httpd.src package as distributed by RHEL.

The dav_xml_get_cdata function in main/util.c in the mod_dav module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.8 does not properly remove whitespace characters from CDATA sections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted DAV WRITE request.
