Description: A vulnerability was reported in Apache mod_status. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The mod_status module does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input. A remote user can
cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the Apache
software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies
(including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web
form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
|
Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the
Apache software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting
as the target user.
|
Solution: The vendor has issued a fix (1.3.40-dev, 1.3.41, 2.0.61-dev, 2.0.63, 2.2.8).

Subject: Apache mod_status
|
A flaw was found in the mod_status module. On sites where mod_status is enabled and the
status pages were publicly accessible, a cross-site scripting attack is possible. Note
that the server-status page is not enabled by default and it is best practice to not
make this publicly available.
