CVE-2012-0031 affects Apache HTTP Server 2.2.21 and earlier. An unprivileged local child process can modify a type field in the scoreboard shared-memory segment. During daemon shutdown, the parent can use the corrupted field to make an invalid call to free(), causing a crash instead of clean termination.
