Description: The Apache web server has multiple vulnerabilities. From the Red Hat vulnerability report:

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy module. An attacker who has control of a web server to which requests are being proxied could cause a limited denial of service due to CPU consumption and stack exhaustion. (CVE-2008-2364)

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_ftp module. Where Apache is configured to support ftp-over-httpd proxying, a remote attacker could perform a cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2008-2939)
