Insight

Insight

The golang packages provide the Go programming language compiler. The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: golang (1.6.3). (BZ#1346331) Security Fix(es): * An input-validation flaw was discovered in the Go programming language built in CGI implementation, which set the environment variable 'HTTP_PROXY' using the incoming 'Proxy' HTTP-request header. The environment variable 'HTTP_PROXY' is used by numerous web clients, including Go's net/http package, to specify a proxy server to use for HTTP and, in some cases, HTTPS requests. This meant that when a CGI-based web application ran, an attacker could specify a proxy server which the application then used for subsequent outgoing requests, allowing a man-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2016-5386) Red Hat would like to thank Scott Geary (VendHQ) for reporting this issue.
