March 2013 by Vigil@nce
This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can trigger a Cross Site Scripting in Apache httpd
mod_proxy_balancer, in order to execute JavaScript code in the
context of the web site.
Impacted products: Apache httpd, Debian, MES, Mandriva Linux,
Slackware
Severity: 2/4
Creation date: 25/02/2013
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Apache httpd mod_proxy_balancer module is used to balance the
load between several mod_proxy services.
However, the manager interface of this module does not correctly
validate received data before displaying them in the generated web
document.
An attacker can therefore trigger a Cross Site Scripting in Apache
httpd mod_proxy_balancer, in order to execute JavaScript code in
the context of the web site.
