TITLE:
Apache mod_perl "Apache::Status" / "Apache2::Status" Cross-Site
Scripting

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34597

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34597/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Apache mod_perl, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Certain input passed to the "Apache::Status" and "Apache2::Status"
modules is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a
user's browser session in context of an affected website.

Successful exploitation requires that the "Apache::Status" or
"Apache2::Status" modules are enabled.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the SVN repository.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Richard J. Brain
