Scientific Linux Security Update : php on SL7.x x86_64 (20160811) (httpoxy)

high Nessus Plugin ID 92997

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Security Fix(es) :

- It was discovered that PHP did not properly protect against the HTTP_PROXY variable name clash. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a PHP script to an attacker- controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request.
(CVE-2016-5385)

Bug Fix(es) :

- Previously, an incorrect logic in the SAPI header callback routine caused that the callback counter was not incremented. Consequently, when a script included a header callback, it could terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. With this update, the callback counter is properly managed, and scripts with a header callback implementation work as expected.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
