CVE-2014-0231 is an uncontrolled resource-consumption vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server mod_cgid before 2.4.10. mod_cgid lacks a timeout when it supplies request input to a CGI program that does not consume its standard input. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted request that causes an httpd child process handling the CGI execution to block indefinitely.
