CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade apache/httpd to version 2.4.10 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. 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.
