Under certain circumstances Apache is prone to exhibit unusual behavior, leading to a potential local denial of service attack. When Apache is stopped, it will attempt to reload its configuration file and then proceed to shutdown. Certain problems occur if an entry for a previously existing log directory is still present in the configuration file. Apache will not be able to restart if it tries to access a previously existing log directory that has been since removed. It should be noted that this is only really an issue if the intended setup is that unprivileged local users are able to remove directories. This issue is believed to affect Apache running on Unix and Linux variants.
