NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd package and not the httpd package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A specially crafted request could have crashed the Apache HTTP Server prior to version 2.4.30, due to an out of bound access after a size limit is reached by reading the HTTP header. This vulnerability is considered very hard if not impossible to trigger in non-debug mode (both log and build level), so it is classified as low risk for common server usage.
