CWE-79

Description

http_protocol.c in (1) IBM HTTP Server 6.0 before 6.0.2.13 and 6.1 before 6.1.0.1, and (2) Apache HTTP Server 1.3 before 1.3.35, 2.0 before 2.0.58, and 2.2 before 2.2.2, does not sanitize the Expect header from an HTTP request when it is reflected back in an error message, which might allow cross-site scripting (XSS) style attacks using web client components that can send arbitrary headers in requests, as demonstrated using a Flash SWF file.

Affected configurations

• apache http server (>= 1.3.3 < 1.3.35) • debian debian linux 3.1 • canonical ubuntu linux 6.06 • canonical ubuntu linux 6.10 • canonical ubuntu linux 7.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 7.10 • redhat enterprise linux server 2.0 • redhat enterprise linux workstation 2.0
