It was discovered that the uwsgi proxy module for Apache2 (mod_proxy_uwsgi) can read above the allocated memory when processing a request with a carefully crafted uri-path. An attacker may cause the server to crash (DoS).
For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.7-1+deb8u4.
We recommend that you upgrade your uwsgi packages.
