CVE-2026-111810
Apache Traffic Server: Unthrottled per-header diagnostic logging enables a log-flood denial of service
Apache Traffic Server 9.2.15, 10.1.4 and 10.2.0 write one unthrottled diagnostic log line for every internal @ header they strip, so a request carrying many such headers makes the proxy write far more log data than the request contains.
This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: 9.2.15, 10.1.4, 10.2.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.16, 10.1.5, or 10.2.1, which fix the issue.
