Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Do not expose MarkLogic HTTP App Servers directly to untrusted networks. Configure a reverse proxy or web application firewall to reject requests that contain both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers, and restrict access to trusted networks until the update can be applied.
