NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream log4j package and not the log4j package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in mod_autoindex.c in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.6, when the charset on a server-generated page is not defined, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the P parameter using the UTF-7 charset. NOTE: it could be argued that this issue is due to a design limitation of browsers that attempt to perform automatic content type detection.
