CVE-2015-3183
Public on
Last Modified:
Description
Multiple flaws were found in the way httpd parsed HTTP requests and responses using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted request, which httpd would decode differently from an HTTP proxy software in front of it, possibly leading to HTTP request smuggling attacks.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Privileges Required | None | N/A |
User Interaction | None | N/A |
Scope | Unchanged | N/A |
Confidentiality Impact | None | N/A |
Integrity Impact | None | N/A |
Availability Impact | Low | N/A |
