Daniel Knoppel reports :

It was discovered by the SUSE security team that it was possible, in some cases, for clients to overwrite headers set by the server, resulting in a medium level security issue. CVE-2015-7519 has been assigned to this issue.

Affected use-cases :

Header overwriting may occur if all of the following conditions are met :

  • Apache integration mode, or standalone+builtin engine without a filtering proxy

  • Ruby or Python applications only (Passenger 5); or any application (Passenger 4)

  • The app depends on a request header containing a dash (-)

  • The header is supposed to be trusted (set by the server)

  • The client correctly guesses the header name

This vulnerability has been fixed by filtering out client headers that do not consist of alphanumeric/dash characters (Nginx already did this, so Passenger+Nginx was not affected). If your application depends on headers that don’t conform to this, you can add a workaround in Apache specifically for those to convert them to a dash-based format.
