Apache: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200602-03 (Apache: Multiple vulnerabilities) Apache's mod_imap fails to properly sanitize the "Referer" directive of imagemaps in some cases, leaving the HTTP Referer header unescaped. A flaw in mod_ssl can lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the site uses a custom "Error 400" document. These vulnerabilities were reported by Marc Cox and Hartmut Keil, respectively. Impact A remote attacker could exploit mod_imap to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into a user's browser to gather sensitive information. Attackers could also cause a Denial of Service on hosts using the SSL module (Apache 2.0.x only). Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
