Yes, this is CVE CAN-2004-0488. It can only be triggered if mod_ssl is
configured to use FakeBasicAuth and will trust a CA which issues a
client cert with a >6K long subject DN.

I checked in a fix for 2.0 earlier:

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/httpd-2.0/modules/ssl/ssl_ engine_kernel.c?r1=1.105&r2=1.106

fixes for mod_ssl 2.8 should be forthcoming.
