CVE-2016-2146 mod_auth_mellon: Failure to limit amount of POST data submitted by client
It was reported that am_read_post_data() failed to limit the amount of POST data submitted by
the client. If the memory allocation for reading the POST data fails, we will get a null pointer dereference when we try to load data into it. If the memory allocation succeeds, we will slowly fill up available memory with post data from the client, causing resource exhaustion.
