RHSA-2016:1421-01 -- Redhat httpd

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:501849Date: (C)2016-07-21   (M)2023-12-20
Class: PATCHFamily: unix




The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server. Security Fix(es): * It was discovered that httpd used the value of the Proxy header from HTTP requests to initialize the HTTP_PROXY environment variable for CGI scripts, which in turn was incorrectly used by certain HTTP client implementations to configure the proxy for outgoing HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a CGI script to an attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request. (CVE-2016-5387) Note: After this update, httpd will no longer pass the value of the Proxy request header to scripts via the HTTP_PROXY environment variable. Red Hat would like to thank Scott Geary (VendHQ) for reporting this issue.
