CVE-2012-1181
EPSS 9.7%libapache2-mod-fcgid - inactive resource limits
Published: 3/19/2012Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
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.
