Secunia has quoted an independent security researcher as saying a dangerous vulnerability has been discovered in Apache software.

That is the type of Apache HTTP Server application vulnerability, which could allow hackers to initiate attacks in the form of cross-site scripting.

Also according to Secunia, the "Expect:" input component (header) in Apache is not handled properly before returning the user. It is this weakness that allows hackers to execute binary HTML forms and script code on the user's browser session at "problematic" sites (usually a fake site created by hackers).

The vulnerability is determined to affect versions of Apache 1.3.35, 2.0.58, and 2.2.2. Secunia also built a prototype for this vulnerability at: http://secunia.com/expect_header_cross-site_scripting_vulnerability_test/
