CVE-2012-1181
Last modified
CVE-2012-1181 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. fcgid_spawn_ctl.c in the mod_fcgid module 2.3.6 for the Apache HTTP Server does not recognize the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass directive for a virtual host, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a series of HTTP requests that triggers a process count higher than the intended limit.. EPSS estimates a 4.86% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
