(Apache: Denial of Service)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache:
    Dustin Kirkland reported that the mod_ssl module can leak memory when
    the client reports support for a compression algorithm (CVE-2008-1678).
    Ryujiro Shibuya reported that the ap_proxy_http_process_response()
    function in the mod_proxy module does not limit the number of forwarded
    interim responses (CVE-2008-2364).
    sp3x of SecurityReason reported a Cross-Site Request Forgery
    vulnerability in the balancer-manager in the mod_proxy_balancer module
    (CVE-2007-6420).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by connecting to
    an Apache httpd, by causing an Apache proxy server to connect to a
    malicious server, or by enticing a balancer administrator to connect to
    a specially crafted URL, resulting in a Denial of Service of the Apache
    daemon.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
