Based on the description, I assume it is this one:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1866760

I'm not sure if it counts as “buffer overflow”, but given that it only
mentions DoS and not arbitrary code execution, NULL pointer dereference
looks a lot like it. 2.13 appears vulnerable to me, given the description.

I don't use libapreq2 anymore, so anyone wanting to pick up the package
would be more than welcome. Upstream homepage is now seemingly at:

  https://httpd.apache.org/apreq/
