Title: IBM HTTP Server Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
IBM HTTP Server is a web server powered by Apache. The Windows NT version is subject to this vulnerability.
IBM HTTP Server is subject to a denial of service. Requesting an unusually long GET request comprised of approx 219 characters will cause the server to stop responding with an error message. A restart of the application is required in order to gain normal functionality.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to the execution of arbitrary commands. However this is unverified.
