A vulnerability in the mod_proxy module of Apache HTTP Server (httpd) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to make the httpd server forward requests to an arbitrary server.

This vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of unix: URLs. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to a vulnerable device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to get, modify, or delete resources on other services that may be inaccessible otherwise.
