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.
