CVE-2013-5704  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-287  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 httpd to version 0:2.2.15-45.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd package and not the httpd package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mod_headers module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.22 allows remote attackers to bypass "RequestHeader unset" directives by placing a header in the trailer portion of data sent with chunked transfer coding. NOTE: the vendor states "this is not a security issue in httpd as such."
