CVE-2008-2364: Apache HTTP Server

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 12.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The ap_proxy_http_process_response function in mod_proxy_http.c in the mod_proxy module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.0.63 and 2.2.8 does not limit the number of forwarded interim responses, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of interim responses.
