What is CVE-2009-2699?

The Apache Portable Runtime library prior to version 1.3.9, as utilized in the Apache HTTP Server before version 2.2.14, contains a vulnerability within the Solaris pollset feature in the Event Port backend. This flaw fails to adequately manage error conditions, enabling remote attackers to induce a denial of service scenario by executing various HTTP requests. The issues primarily relate to the prefork and event Multi-Processing Modules (MPMs), leading to potential daemon hangs and service disruption.
