Re: Re: Re: Apache Server HTML Injection and UTF-7 XSS Vulnerability
Setting the HTTP response header:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
or adding the tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
or even both - still does not deter IE from scanning the contents and
interpreting them as UTF-7 when Encoding=Auto-Select.
(observed on w2k with IE 6.0.2800.1106 SP1 + Q867801 + Q823353 + Q833989 +
Q903235)
It appears there is little that web servers can do to thwart this, short of
changing all '+' characters to %2B. That seems excessive.
