Hi all,

A few days ago Contextis (1) has published a flaw against some Apache
webservers.
It has been described as "a new type of security vulnerability which can
allow full internal system access from the internet from an
unauthenticated perspective. This technique exploits insecurely
configured reverse web proxies to gain access to internal/DMZ systems.

Apache web server is affected by this issue when running in reverse
proxy mode"

Attached is a NSE script to reveal this vulnerability. Unfortunately, I
don't have a vulnerable target at hand, hence I've tested against a
bunch of -iR.
I've found a very few vulnerable ones, and that's not enough to be
confident with this script.
Of course I can't give them here, as I don't want to publicly expose
them: that's why I'm calling for testers (2).

The output looks as this:
- -- PORT   STATE SERVICE REASON
- -- 80/tcp open  http    syn-ack
- -- |_http-reverseproxy-bypass: VULNERABLE to CVE-2011-3368, allows
requests to external websites

Thanks !

A.G.
