mod_proxy in httpd in Apache HTTP Server 2.2.9, when running on Unix, does not close the backend connection if a timeout occurs when reading a response from a persistent connection, which allows remote attackers to obtain a potentially sensitive response intended for a different client in opportunistic circumstances via a normal HTTP request. NOTE: this is the same issue as CVE-2010-2068, but for a different OS and set of affected versions.

Apache httpd: CVE-2010-2791
An information disclosure flaw was found in mod_proxy_http in version 2.2.9 only, on Unix platforms. Under certain timeout conditions, the server could return a response intended for another user. Only those configurations which trigger the use of proxy worker pools are affected. There was no vulnerability on earlier versions, as proxy pools were not yet introduced. The simplest workaround is to globally configure: SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1 Reported to security team 2010-07-23 Issue public 2010-07-23 Update 2.2.10 released 2008-10-31 Affects 2.2.9
