Bounty: N/A

Description: A buffer overflow flaw was found in mod_proxy_fcgi's handle_headers() function. A malicious FastCGI server that httpd is configured to connect to could send a carefully crafted response that would cause an httpd child process handling the request to crash. This only affected version 2.4.10 of Apache.
