DoS CVE in Apache2 - advise to patch

Hi guys,

An older CVE was republished recently regarding the ProxyPass module in Apache. It's got quite a high rating from NIST, advise is to patch as soon as possible. I was using a forward proxy with another provider here which was also still vulnerable with this, so i decided to also post it here.

These we're reported already in December 2021, but just only recently patches are surfacing for some OS/package managers.

READ CAREFULLY: This is only occurring to forward proxys, reverse proxies are unaffected.

UPDATE: This is only applicable if you run mod_lua and with forward proxies. Could still be useful for some providers/peeps out here.
