    It would be helpful if you could paste part of the access log or other
packet capture which signifies what data is being sent to apache causing
this to happen.

RedHat's apache is known to have issues with CodeRed attempts.  The
solution is to upgrade to Apache 2.x or 1.3.27.  RedHat has not released
any errata that fixes this bug, you must install from source, unless of
course you have RedHat 8 which ships with Apache 2.x.

There was a thread on this list just last week pertaining to this.
