It is possible for a remote user to cause a denial of service condition using various versions of Apache Web Server. An HTTP request consisting of unusual amounts of data could cause various effects on the host. Some effects that have been reported involve the administrator receiving an error message and an idle user connection until the server is restarted by the admin. The target host could also consume all available memory, resulting in the server crashing. A restart of the server by the administrator is required in order to gain normal functionality.
