The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-twisted-web' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Twisted Web incorrectly used the value of the Proxy header from HTTP requests to initialize the HTTP_PROXY environment variable for CGI scripts, which could lead to redirecting HTTP requests to an attacker-controlled proxy. An update for python-twisted-web is available to fix this issue

Security Fix(es):

  * It was discovered that python-twisted-web 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. (CVE-2016-1000111)

Note: After this update, python-twisted-web will no longer pass the value
of the Proxy request header to scripts via the HTTP_PROXY environment
variable.

Red Hat would like to thank Scott Geary (VendHQ) for reporting this issue.");
