Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.120711
Category:Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2016-722)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'tomcat6, tomcat7, tomcat8' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2016-722 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'tomcat6, tomcat7, tomcat8' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2016-722 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Tomcat's CGI support 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 (known as the 'httpoxy' class of vulnerabilities).

Affected Software/OS:
'tomcat6, tomcat7, tomcat8' package(s) on Amazon Linux.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.1
