Description

Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by improper input validation in the core. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
