The stream_reqbody_cl function in mod_proxy_http.c in the mod_proxy
module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.3.3, when a reverse proxy is
configured, does not properly handle an amount of streamed data that
exceeds the Content-Length value, which allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted requests.
