NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat5 package and not the tomcat5 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The date handling code in modules/proxy/proxy_util.c (mod_proxy) in Apache 2.3.0, when using a threaded MPM, allows remote origin servers to cause a denial of service (caching forward proxy process crash) via crafted date headers that trigger a buffer over-read.
