CVE-1999-0107

Summary

CVE-1999-0107 denotes a buffer overflow vulnerability in Apache 1.2.5 and earlier versions. This issue allows a remote attacker to send a large number of GET requests with numerous / characters, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can overload the server's resources, effectively making it unavailable to legitimate users. This issue was identified in 1999 and has since been addressed in later versions of Apache. However, it remains a significant concern for organizations still running older, unpatched systems.
