Descriptions

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the make_variant_list function in mod_negotiation.c in the mod_negotiation module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x before 2.4.3, when the MultiViews option is enabled, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted filename that is not properly handled during construction of a variant list.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades de ejecución de secuencias de comandos en sitios cruzados (XSS) en la función make_variant_list en mod_negotiation.c en el módulo mod_negotiation en Apache HTTP Server v2.4.x anteriores a v2.4.3, cuando la opción MultiViews esta activada, permite a atacantes remotos inyectar secuencias de comandos web o HTML a través un nombre de fichero manipulado que no es manejado de forma adecuada mientras se construye una lista de variantes.

Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified with HP-UX Apache running Tomcat Servlet Engine. These vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely to create a Denial of Service (DoS) or to perform Cross Site Scripting (XSS). Revision 1 of this advisory.
