Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Apache HTTPD's mod_status. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks. IBM HTTP Server is affected.
When ExtendedStatus is enabled and the server-status page is accessible, 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.
Browsers that perform charset detection are affected.
