CVE-2007-6203: Apache HTTP Server 2.0.x and 2.2.x does not sanitize the HTTP Method specifier header from an HTTP request...

Apache HTTP Server 2.0.x and 2.2.x does not sanitize the HTTP Method specifier header from an HTTP request when it is reflected back in a "413 Request Entity Too Large" error message, which might allow cross-site scripting (XSS) style attacks using web client components that can send arbitrary headers in requests, as demonstrated via an HTTP request containing an invalid Content-length value, a similar issue to CVE-2006-3918.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-6203 is a reflected XSS issue in legacy Apache HTTP Server 2.0.x and 2.2.x error handling. A crafted request could cause Apache to echo an unsafe HTTP method value in a 413 error page. Business urgency is mainly for organizations still running obsolete Apache versions on public-facing systems. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems running Apache HTTP Server 2.0.x or 2.2.x, especially internet-facing web servers that can return default Apache error pages. The source bundle does not identify affected downstream package versions beyond vendor advisories. Prioritize as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an emergency based on the provided evidence. If Apache 2.0.x or 2.2.x remains internet-facing, treat remediation as overdue because these platforms are old and may carry broader unsupported-software risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory Apache HTTP Server instances and identify any 2.0.x or 2.2.x deployments.; Review the relevant OS or vendor advisory for package-specific fixed versions.; Apply supported vendor Apache security updates where the advisory marks the system affected..
