Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882568
Category:	CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:	CentOS Update for python-twisted-web CESA-2016:1978 centos7
Summary:	Check the version of python-twisted-web
Description:	Summary: Check the version of python-twisted-web Vulnerability Insight: Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. Twisted Web is a complete web server, aimed at hosting web applications using Twisted and Python, but fully able to serve static pages too. Security Fix(es): * It was discovered that python-twisted-web 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-2016-1000111) Note: After this update, python-twisted-web 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: python-twisted-web on CentOS 7 Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
