The remote host is missing an update for the 'python34, python27, python26' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2016-741 advisory. It was discovered that the Python CGIHandler class did not properly protect against the HTTP_PROXY variable name clash in a CGI context. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a Python CGI script to an attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request
