DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in Apache HTTP Server, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The weakness is caused due to the mod_proxy module, when configured
in reverse proxy mode, incorrectly processing certain web requests.
This can be exploited to send requests to an unintended server behind
the proxy via a specially crafted URL.

Successful exploitation requires the use of "ProxyPassMatch" and
"RewriteRule" configuration directives with a certain pattern match.

The weakness is reported in all 2.x versions.

SOLUTION:
Apply patch.
