As noted in the original reporter's advisory (see comment #5), this issue can be mitigated by using a custom ErrorDocument setting, such as: ErrorDocument 400 "Bad Request" http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#errordocument It should be noted that ErrorDocument setting using path or external URL does not mitigate this issue. It should also be noted that this is not an issue by itself.
