Cisco Email Security Appliance and Content Security Management Appliance HTTP Response Splitting Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA) and Content Security Management Appliance (SMA) software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a HTTP response splitting attack.

The vulnerability is due to the failure of the application or its environment to properly sanitize input values. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious HTTP headers, controlling the response body, or splitting the response into multiple responses. An exploit could allow the attacker to perform cross-site scripting attacks, cross-user defacement, web cache poisoning, and similar exploits.

There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
