The mod_proxy module in the Apache HTTP Server 1.3.x through 1.3.42, 2.0.x through 2.0.64, and 2.2.x through 2.2.21…
The mod_proxy module in Apache HTTP Server versions 1.3.x through 1.3.42, 2.0.x through 2.0.64, and 2.2.x through 2.2.21 mishandles RewriteRule and ProxyPassMatch pattern matches used to configure a reverse proxy, where the flaw arises only when the Revision 1179239 patch is applied. A remote attacker can send a malformed URI containing an @ character and a : character in invalid positions to reach intranet servers behind the reverse proxy, with no authentication or user interaction indicated.
The mod_proxy module in the Apache HTTP Server 1.3.x through 1.3.42, 2.0.x through 2.0.64, and 2.2.x through 2.2.21, when the Revision 1179239 patch is in place, does not properly interact with use of (1) RewriteRule and (2) ProxyPassMatch pattern matches for configuration of a reverse proxy, which allows remote attackers to send requests to intranet servers via a malformed URI containing an @ (at sign) character and a : (colon) character in invalid positions. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-3368.
