Security vulnerabilities
- * SECURITY: core: If a request contains both Transfer-Encoding and
- Content-Length headers, remove the Content-Length, mitigating some
- HTTP Request Splitting/Spoofing attacks. This has no impact on
- mod_proxy_http, yet affects any module which supports chunked
- encoding yet fails to prefer T-E: chunked over the Content-Length
- purported value.
-
- * Added TraceEnable [on|off|extended] per-server directive to alter
- the behavior of the TRACE method. This addresses a flaw in proxy
- conformance to RFC 2616 - previously the proxy server would accept
- a TRACE request body although the RFC prohibited it. The default
- remains 'TraceEnable on'.
+ * SECURITY: CVE-2005-3352 (cve.mitre.org)
+ mod_imap: Escape untrusted referer header before outputting in HTML
+ to avoid potential cross-site scripting. Change also made to
+ ap_escape_html so we escape quotes. Reported by JPCERT.
