Description

Apache contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate server signature data by Server Side Include (SSI) error pages. This could allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
