Apache HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper escaping of output in mod_rewrite. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to map URLs to filesystem locations permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally or directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution.
