Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-1421-01 - The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server. Security Fix: 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. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a CGI script to an attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request.

3. Description:
The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful, efficient,
and extensible web server.
Security Fix(es):
* 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. A remote attacker could
possibly use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a CGI script
to an attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request.
(CVE-2016-5387)
Note: After this update, httpd will no longer pass the value of the Proxy
request header to scripts via the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.
Red Hat would like to thank Scott Geary (VendHQ) for reporting this issue.
4. Solution:
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted
automatically.
5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
1353755 - CVE-2016-5387 Apache HTTPD: sets environmental variable based on user supplied Proxy request header
