+ <unaffected range="ge">2.0.5</unaffected>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Pound is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end. It allows
+ to distribute the load on several web servers and offers a SSL wrapper
+ for web servers that do not support SSL directly.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Pound fails to handle HTTP requests with conflicting "Content-Length"
+ and "Transfer-Encoding" headers correctly.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending HTTP requests
+ with specially crafted "Content-Length" and "Transfer-Encoding" headers
+ to bypass certain security restrictions or to poison the web proxy
+ cache.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Pound users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose www-servers/pound</code>
+ </resolution>
