There is a potential response splitting attack vulnerability in IBM HTTP Server. The fix for CVE-2016-8743 supercedes CVE-2016-4975.
CVEID: CVE-2016-8743 DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTPD is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
