Descriptions

The CGIHandler class in Python before 2.7.12 does not protect against the HTTP_PROXY variable name clash in a CGI script, which could allow a remote attacker to redirect HTTP requests.

La clase CGIHandler en Python versiones anteriores a la versión 2.7.12, no protege contra el conflicto de nombre de la variable HTTP_PROXY en un script CGI, lo que podría permitir a un atacante remoto redireccionar las peticiones HTTP.

It was discovered that the Python CGIHandler class did not properly protect against the HTTP_PROXY variable name clash in a CGI context. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a Python CGI script to an attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request.
