CVE-2016-5387 – HTTPD: sets environmental variable based on user supplied Proxy request header

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-5387

The Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.23 follows RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 and therefore does not protect applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue. NOTE: the vendor states "This mitigation has been assigned the identifier CVE-2016-5387"; in other words, this is not a CVE ID for a vulnerability. El Apache HTTP Server hasta la versión 2.4.23 sigue a RFC 3875 sección 4.1.18 y por lo tanto no protege aplicaciones de la presencia de datos de clientes no confiables en ambiente variable de HTTP_PROXY, lo que puede permitir a atacantes remotos redireccionar el tráfico HTTP saliente de aplicación a un servidor proxy arbitrario a través de una cabecera Proxy manipulada en una petición HTTP, también conocido como problema "httpoxy". NOTA: el vendedor afirma "Se ha asignado a esta mitigación el identificador CVE-2016-5387"; en otras palabras, esto no es un CVE ID para una vulnerabilidad. It was discovered that httpd 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. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2016-07/msg00059.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1624.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1625.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1648.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1649.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1650.html http://www.debian.org/security/2016/dsa-3623 http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/797896 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpujan2018-3236628.html • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation •
