Vulnerability Type: DoS 
CWE ID: CWE-20
Summary: The lua_websocket_read function in lua_request.c in the mod_lua module in the Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (child-process crash) by sending a crafted WebSocket Ping frame after a Lua script has called the wsupgrade function.
Commit Message:   *) SECURITY: CVE-2015-0228 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_lua: A maliciously crafted websockets PING after a script
     calls r:wsupgrade() can cause a child process crash.
