SUSE Security Update: Security update for apache2
______________________________________________________________________________
Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2016:1818-1
Rating: moderate
References: #988488
Cross-References: CVE-2016-5387
Affected Products:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 12-SP1
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-SP1
______________________________________________________________________________
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.
Description:
This update for apache2 fixes the following issues:
* It used to be possible to set an arbitrary $HTTP_PROXY environment
variable for request handlers -- like CGI scripts -- by including a
specially crafted HTTP header in the request (CVE-2016-5387). As a
result, these server components would potentially direct all their
outgoing HTTP traffic through a malicious proxy server. This patch fixes
the issue: the updated Apache server ignores such HTTP headers and never
sets $HTTP_PROXY for sub-processes (unless a value has been explicitly
configured by the administrator in the configuration file). (bsc#988488)
