CVE-2001-0122 describes a kernel memory leak in the AfpaCache module of the Fast Response Cache Accelerator (FRCA) component within IBM HTTP Server 1.3.x and WebSphere Application Server 3.52. This vulnerability allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to trigger a denial of service by sending a series of malformed HTTP requests that generate "bad request" errors. With a CVSS score of 5.0 (Medium), the attack is network-based and low complexity, leading to a partial availability impact. While not listed on CISA's KEV catalog, exploit code exists on ExploitDB, though there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit modules, or significant community discussion.
