Description

The version of Xerver running on the remote host has an HTTP response splitting vulnerability due to its failure to sanitize specially encoded carriage return and newline characters. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into requesting a maliciously crafted URL, resulting in the injection of HTTP headers, HTML, or script code.
