A vulnerability has been identified in Apache, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is caused by an error in the "ap_proxy_http_process_response()" [modules/proxy/mod_proxy_http.c] function when sending interim responses to the client, which could be exploited to cause a vulnerable server to exhaust all available memory resources, creating a denial of service condition.
