A remote attacker could use this flaw to force a proxy process to consume large amounts of CPU time. (CVE-2009-1890)A denial of service flaw was found in the Apache mod_deflate module. This module continued to compress large files until compression was complete, even if the network connection that requested the content was closed before compression completed. This would cause mod_deflate to consume large amounts of CPU if mod_deflate was enabled for a large file. (CVE-2009-1891)After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the update to take effect.SL 5.x SRPMS:httpd-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.src.rpm i386:httpd-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.i386.rpmhttpd-devel-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.i386.rpmhttpd-manual-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.i386.rpmmod_ssl-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.i386.rpm x86_64:httpd-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.x86_64.rpmhttpd-devel-2.2.3-22.el5_3.2.i386.rpmhttpd-devel-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.i386.rpmhttpd-devel-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.x86_64.rpmhttpd-manual-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.x86_64.rpmmod_ssl-2.2.3-22.sl5.2.x86_64.rpm-Connie Sieh-Troy Dawson
