- In 2010 apache version 2.2.15 was issued to deal with CVE-2007-6750. Looking at the
commit this version was a version update and not seen as a CVE fix. The 2.2.15
version provided the reqtimeout_module and it was provided in the apache rootfile.
- However it was never added into the loadmodule.conf file and so has never been
implemented in IPFire.
- A user in the forum flagged this up as an output from an nmap scan that had been run.
- Ran the nmap scan and confirmed that it flagged up the slowloris vulnerability.
- Added the module into loadmodule.conf and tested it in a vm and re-ran the nmap scan
and notrhing was flagged up.
- Although this has been present for 16 years, the fact that by default the WUI can not
be accessed remotely from the internet and we recommend not to do that likely means
that this vulnerability has not beenexposed into the internet.
