- CVEs with nessus.description==This update for apache2 fixes the following issues :
- It used to be possible to set an arbitrary $HTTP_PROXY environment variable for request handlers -- like CGI scripts -- by including a specially crafted HTTP header in the request (CVE-2016-5387). As a result, these server components would potentially direct all their outgoing HTTP traffic through a malicious proxy server.
This patch fixes the issue: the updated Apache server ignores such HTTP headers and never sets $HTTP_PROXY for sub-processes (unless a value has been explicitly configured by the administrator in the configuration file). (bsc#988488)
- Ignore SIGINT signal in child processes. This fixes a race condition in signals handling when httpd is running on foreground and the user hits ctrl+c. (bsc#970391)
- Don't put the backend in error state (by default) when 500/503 is overridden. (bsc#951692)
- Remove obsolete /usr/share/apache2/rc.apache2 sample script. (bsc#973381)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
