openSUSE Security Update: Security update for apache2 ______________________________________________________________________________
Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2016:1824-1 Rating: moderate References: #988488 Cross-References: CVE-2016-5387 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 42.1 openSUSE 13.2 ______________________________________________________________________________
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)
This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP1:Update update project.
