Apache HTTP Server Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1181

Medium
Reference: CVE-2012-1181
NVD Link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2012-1181
Title: Apache HTTP Server Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer Vulnerability
Overview:

fcgid_spawn_ctl.c in the mod_fcgid module 2.3.6 for the Apache HTTP Server does not recognize the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass directive for a virtual host which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a series of HTTP requests that triggers a process count higher than the intended limit.
