A vulnerability has been reported for the mod_access_referer Apache module

The mod_access_referer Apache module is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference when parsing invalid HTTP referer header fields. If an attacker sends a request with a referer header field that is missing the 'http' protocol, the module will attempt to parse the string as a valid URL, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. This can cause Apache to segfault, resulting in a denial of service.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of Apache, or apply the patch referenced in the SecurityFocus BID.
