Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201609-21
==========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2016-09-22
CVE-ID : CVE-2016-5388
Package : tomcat7
Type : proxy injection
Remote : Yes
Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE
Summary
=======
The package tomcat7 before version 7.0.72-1 is vulnerable to proxy
injection.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 7.0.72-1.
# pacman -Syu "tomcat7>=7.0.72-1"
The problems have been fixed upstream in version 7.0.72.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
It was discovered that tomcat 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.
Impact
======
A remote attacker is able to use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests
performed by a CGI script to an attacker-controlled proxy via a
malicious HTTP request.
