SUSE Security Update: Security update for apache2-mod_fcgid
______________________________________________________________________________
Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2016:1820-1
Rating: moderate
References: #988492
Cross-References: CVE-2016-1000104
Affected Products:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11-SP4
SUSE Linux Enterprise Debuginfo 11-SP4
______________________________________________________________________________
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.
Description:
This update for apache2-mod_fcgid 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-2016-1000104). 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#988492)
