Description
A flaw was found in Apache HTTP Server. An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists when mod_headers and mod_mime are used with multiple response languages. This could allow a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information from memory or cause a denial of service.
Statement

While this configuration is not universally enabled by default in Red Hat products, affected systems could be vulnerable to information disclosure or denial of service if these specific modules and language settings are in use. Exploitation requires a remote attacker to trigger this specific module interaction.
