CVE-2016-8743

CVE Details

Release Date:

2018-01-09

Description

Apache HTTP Server, in all releases prior to 2.2.32 and 2.4.25, wasliberal in the whitespace accepted from requests and sent in response lines and headers. Accepting these different behaviors represented a security concern when httpd participates in any chain of proxies or interacts with back-end application servers, either through mod_proxy or using conventional CGI mechanisms, and may result in request smuggling, response splitting and cache pollution.
