CVE Name CVE-2014-4047
Description Establishing a TCP or TLS connection to the configured HTTP
or HTTPS port respectively in http.conf and then not
sending or completing a HTTP request will tie up a HTTP
session. By doing this repeatedly until the maximum number
of open HTTP sessions is reached, legitimate requests are
blocked.
Resolution The patched versions now have a session_inactivity timeout
option in http.conf that defaults to 30000 ms. Users should
upgrade to a corrected version, apply the released patches,
or disable HTTP support.
