Fedora 8 : httpd-2.2.9-1.fc8 (2008-6314)

This update includes the latest release of httpd 2.2. A security issue is fixed in this update: A flaw was found in the handling of excessive interim responses from an origin server when using mod_proxy_http. In a forward proxy configuration, if a user of the proxy could be tricked into visiting a malicious web server, the proxy could be forced into consuming a large amount of stack or heap memory. This could lead to an eventual process crash due to stack space exhaustion.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
