CVE-2015-3183  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-172  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 httpd to version 0:2.2.15-47.el6_7 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 chunked transfer coding implementation in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.14 does not properly parse chunk headers, which allows remote attackers to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks via a crafted request, related to mishandling of large chunk-size values and invalid chunk-extension characters in modules/http/http_filters.c.
