    <p>
    The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
    Internet.

    <p>
    Adrian Pastor and Amir Azam (ProCheckUp) reported that the HTTP Method
    specifier header is not properly sanitized when the HTTP return code is
    "413 Request Entity too large" (CVE-2007-6203). The mod_proxy_balancer
    module does not properly check the balancer name before using it
    (CVE-2007-6422). The mod_proxy_ftp does not define a charset in its
    answers (CVE-2008-0005). Stefano Di Paola (Minded Security) reported
    that filenames are not properly sanitized within the mod_negotiation
    module (CVE-2008-0455, CVE-2008-0456).
    </p>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious URL or send
    specially crafted HTTP requests (i.e using Adobe Flash) to perform
    Cross-Site Scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks, or conduct a
    Denial of Service attack on the vulnerable web server.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/apache-2.2.8"</code>
  </resolution>
