CVE (CAN) ID: CVE-2014-0231
 
Apache HTTP Server is an open-source Web Server of the Apache Software Foundation. It can run in most computer operating systems. Because of its wide use of multiple platforms and security, is one of the most popular Web server software. It is fast, reliable, and can be used to compile interpreters such as Perl/Python into the server through simple API extensions.
 
The mod_cgid module of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.9, 2.4.8, 2.4.7, and 2.4.6 does not have a timeout mechanism, which allows remote attackers to request CGI scripts (not read from the standard input file descriptor ), this vulnerability causes a denial of service (process suspension ).
