Package        : apache2
CVE ID         : CVE-2014-0118 CVE-2014-0226 CVE-2014-0231

Several security issues were found in the Apache HTTP server.

CVE-2014-0118

    The DEFLATE input filter (inflates request bodies) in mod_deflate
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource
    consumption) via crafted request data that decompresses to a much
    larger size.

CVE-2014-0226

    A race condition was found in mod_status. An attacker able to
    access a public server status page on a server could send carefully
    crafted requests which could lead to a heap buffer overflow,
    causing denial of service, disclosure of sensitive information, or
    potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2014-0231

    A flaw was found in mod_cgid. If a server using mod_cgid hosted
    CGI scripts which did not consume standard input, a remote attacker
    could cause child processes to hang indefinitely, leading to denial
    of service.
