CVE-2007-6750

Publication date 27 December 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The Apache HTTP Server 1.x and 2.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon outage) via partial HTTP requests, as demonstrated by Slowloris, related to the lack of the mod_reqtimeout module in versions before 2.2.15.

1005669 commit fixes CVE-2010-1623 hardy users who want to protect against Slowloris are recommended to update to lucid or higher. Adding a new module turned on by default to hardy's apache2 is too intrusive.
