Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:1421

Issue date: 2016-07-18

CVE Names: CVE-2016-5387

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An update for httpd is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red

Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability

from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, noarch, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

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.

 

4. Solution:

 

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes

described in this advisory, refer to:

 

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted

automatically.

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1353755 - CVE-2016-5387 Apache HTTPD: sets environmental variable based on user supplied Proxy request header
