A memory leak was found in the Apache 2 ‘worker’ module in the handling of aborted TCP connections. By repeatedly triggering this situation, a remote attacker could drain all available memory, which eventually led to a Denial of Service.

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