Memory leak in the winnt_accept function in server/mpm/winnt/child.c in the WinNT MPM in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x before 2.4.10 on Windows, when the default AcceptFilter is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted requests.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-3523 is a denial-of-service issue in Apache HTTP Server on Windows. A memory leak can be triggered remotely when affected 2.4.x versions use the default AcceptFilter behavior, potentially exhausting server memory and degrading or stopping web service. Exposure is most likely on Windows systems running Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x earlier than 2.4.10 with the default AcceptFilter enabled, especially internet-facing web servers. Schedule remediation for exposed Windows Apache servers, with higher priority for public or revenue-impacting services. The likely business risk is service outage, not data theft, based on the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Windows Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x deployments to 2.4.10 or later.; Check Apache and downstream vendor advisories for supported package-specific remediation.; Review whether default AcceptFilter behavior is enabled on Windows Apache hosts..
