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.
