## Description

Race condition in the mod\_status module in the Apache HTTP Server before
2.4.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based
buffer overflow), or possibly obtain sensitive credential information or
execute arbitrary code, via a crafted request that triggers improper
scoreboard handling within the status\_handler function in
modules/generators/mod\_status.c and the lua\_ap\_scoreboard\_worker function
in modules/lua/lua\_request.c.
