Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Apache HTTP Server, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass certain security policies and restrictions.
The first flaw is due to an error when processing an HTTP request containing both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a "Content-Length" header, which could allow the bypass of Web application firewall protection or lead to cross site scripting attacks. For additional information, see : FrSIRT/ADV-2005-1208
The second issue is due to an error in the "TraceEnable" directive, which could cause the proxy server to accept a TRACE request body although the RFC 2616 prohibited it.
