Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Pound, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of malformed HTTP requests with both "Transfer-Encoding" and "Content-Length" headers and may be exploited to cause Pound to forward malicious HTTP requests in the HTTP body, which will be processed as a separate HTTP requests by the receiving server.
Successful exploitation allows poisoning of the web proxy cache or bypass of certain web application firewall protections.
