Description
Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a chunk header parsing flaw in the apr_brigade_flatten() function. By sending a specially-crafted request in a malformed chunked header to the Apache HTTP server, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
