NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream log4j package and not the log4j package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ap_proxy_http_process_response function in mod_proxy_http.c in the mod_proxy module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.0.63 and 2.2.8 does not limit the number of forwarded interim responses, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of interim responses.
