CentOS Update for httpd CESA-2016:1421 centos5

Check the version of httpd

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 the linked article. After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted automatically. 5. Bugs fixed: 1353755 - CVE-2016-5387 Apache HTTPD: sets environmental variable based on user supplied Proxy request header 6.
