DescriptionNVD

Gazelle versions through 0.49 for Perl allows HTTP Request Smuggling via Improper Header Precedence.

Gazelle incorrectly prioritizes "Content-Length" over "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" when both headers are present in an HTTP request. Per RFC 7230 3.3.3, Transfer-Encoding must take precedence.

An attacker could exploit this to smuggle malicious HTTP requests via a front-end reverse proxy.

AnalysisAI

HTTP Request Smuggling in Gazelle (Perl web server) versions through 0.49 enables attackers to smuggle malicious requests through reverse proxies by exploiting incorrect header precedence. Gazelle violates RFC 7230 by prioritizing Content-Length over Transfer-Encoding: chunked when both headers are present, allowing desynchronization between front-end proxies and the backend server. …
