Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.871637
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Update for httpd RHSA-2016:1421-01
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'httpd'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'httpd'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

Affected Software/OS:
httpd on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
