CVE-2015-3183 is an HTTP request-smuggling vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server's chunked transfer-coding implementation. Affected versions improperly parse chunk headers, including large chunk-size values and invalid chunk-extension characters. This can cause Apache httpd and an upstream or front-end HTTP proxy to interpret the boundaries or length of the same crafted chunked HTTP request differently.
