Description |
Apache mod_ssl contains a flaw that allows a remote Cross Site Scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate server signature data upon submission to the SSI error page. This could allow a user to send a specially crafted request that would execute the embedded script within the security context of the hosting site.

Technical |
The mod_ssl authentication module is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper filtering of server signature data. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted URL request that would cause a malicious HTTP "Host:" header which would be executed within the security context of the hosting site in the victim's browser. The existance of this vulnerability is limited to configurations with both the 'UseCanonicalName' option turned off and wildcard DNS enabled.

Solution |
Upgrade to version 2.8.10 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
