Apache httpd Range header remote DoS

[Ruiyuan Jiang <Ruiyuan_Jiang@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, all

 

I have an Apache reverse proxy server (v2.2.21) redirects traffic from http to https for a back end web server. I don’t know the exact version of the back end Apache web server because Oracle changed the version number but I am sure it is below v2.2.21. Our vulnerability scan shows that the web site has:

 

Apache httpd Range header remote DoS (CVE-2011-3192) (apache-httpd-cve-2011-3192)

 

My question is that front end of Apache reverse proxy hide the back end web server problem, isn’t it? If not, how do I fix the problem besides to upgrade the version of back end Apache web server? Thanks.
