CVE-2012-0053

First published: Fri Jan 27 2012(Updated: )

A flaw was found in the default error response for status code 400. This could be used by an attacker to expose "httpOnly" cookies, when no custom ErrorDocument was specified. This affects all versions of Apache from 2.2.0 up to and including 2.2.21. It will be fixed upstream in 2.2.22 (via r1235454 [1]).
