[ NNSquad ] Security flaw in Apache could allow attackers into internal networks


Security flaw in Apache could allow attackers into internal networks

http://j.mp/tan4sv  (ars technica)

  "A newly discovered flaw in Apache web servers could allow attackers to
   use servers configured as "reverse proxies" to gain access to or
   attack systems hidden from public view. The bug in Apache's reverse
   proxy mode only affects servers that have been configured incorrectly,
   but that error isn't an obvious one, since it doesn't interfere with
   normal operations. The flaw could be used by attackers to reach
   Web-enabled resources on other servers connected to the same network
   as the proxy."
