Descriptions

The "http-client" egg always used a HTTP_PROXY environment variable to determine whether HTTP traffic should be routed via a proxy, even when running as a CGI process. Under several web servers this would mean a user-supplied "Proxy" header could allow an attacker to direct all HTTP requests through a proxy (also known as a "httpoxy" attack). This affects all versions of http-client before 0.10.

El huevo "http-client" siempre utilizó una variable de entorno HTTP_PROXY para determinar si el tráfico HTTP debería ser enrutado a través de un proxy, incluso cuando se ejecuta como un proceso CGI. Bajo varios servidores web esto significaría que una cabecera "Proxy" proporcionada por el usuario podría permitir a un atacante dirigir todas las peticiones HTTP a través de un proxy (también conocido como un ataque "httpoxy"). Esto afecta a todas las versiones de http-client anteriores a 0.10.
