Title: Apache HTTP Server Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests (HTTP Request/Response Smuggling) Vulnerability

Overview:

The Apache HTTP server before 1.3.34 and 2.0.x before 2.0.55 when acting as an HTTP proxy allows remote attackers to poison the web cache bypass web application firewall protection and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a quotTransfer-Encoding: chunkedquot header and a Content-Length header which causes Apache to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a separate HTTP request aka quotHTTP Request Smuggling.quot
