# CVE-2007-3304: Denial of service in n/a > Local attackers can cause denial of service in Apache httpd by manipulating process score arrays to send signals to arbitrary processes. - **Severity:** Medium 4.7 (`AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Any signed-in user - **Attackable:** Local or same network only - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 20 Jun 2007 - **Updated:** 7 Aug 2024 - **Also known as:** DEBIAN-CVE-2007-3304, GHSA-f63r-c37x-f6mg, RHSA-2007:0662 ## What is CVE-2007-3304? CVE-2007-3304 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Apache Http Server, published on 20 Jun 2007. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description Apache httpd 1.3.37, 2.0.59, and 2.2.4 with the Prefork MPM module, allows local users to cause a denial of service by modifying the worker_score and process_score arrays to reference an arbitrary process ID, which is sent a SIGUSR1 signal from the master process, aka "SIGUSR1 killer." ## Which versions are affected by CVE-2007-3304?

What it is: CVE-2007-3304 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Apache Http Server, published on 20 Jun 2007. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2007-3304 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Apache Http Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
