mod_access_referer -- null pointer dereference vulnerability

Description:

A malformed Referer header field causes the Apache ap_parse_uri_components function to discard it with the result that a pointer is not initialized. The mod_access_referer module does not take this into account with the result that it may use such a pointer.

The null pointer vulnerability may possibly be used in a remote denial of service attack against affected Apache servers.
