(Apache 2.0: Denial of Service by memory consumption)

    Chintan Trivedi discovered a vulnerability in Apache httpd 2.0 that is caused by improper enforcing of the field length limit in the header-parsing code.
  
Impact :

    By sending a large amount of specially crafted HTTP GET requests a remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service of the targeted system.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
