CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 httpd to version 0:2.4.6-18.el7_0 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2014:0921.

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.

The mod_cgid module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.10 does not have a timeout mechanism, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process hang) via a request to a CGI script that does not read from its stdin file descriptor.
