(CVE-2014-0075)

A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform an HTTP request smuggling attack on a JBoss Web server located behind a reverse proxy that processed the content length header correctly. (CVE-2014-0099)

The CVE-2014-0075 issue was discovered by David Jorm of Red Hat Product Security.
