NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-pspell package and not the php-pspell package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Apache2 component in PHP before 5.6.38, 7.0.x before 7.0.32, 7.1.x before 7.1.22, and 7.2.x before 7.2.10 allows XSS via the body of a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" request, because the bucket brigade is mishandled in the php_handler function in sapi/apache2handler/sapi_apache2.c.
