Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd24-httpd package and not the httpd24-httpd package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The lua_websocket_read function in lua_request.c in the mod_lua module in the Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (child-process crash) by sending a crafted WebSocket Ping frame after a Lua script has called the wsupgrade function.
