CVE-2009-2699
Last modified
CVE-2009-2699 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Solaris pollset feature in the Event Port backend in poll/unix/port.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library before 1.3.9, as used in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.14 and other products, does not properly handle errors, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon hang) via unspecified HTTP requests, related to the prefork and event MPMs.. EPSS estimates a 14.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
