Security Fix(es):

  * It was discovered that the HTTP parser in httpd incorrectly allowed
certain characters not permitted by the HTTP protocol specification to
appear unencoded in HTTP request headers. If httpd was used in conjunction
with a proxy or backend server that interpreted those characters
differently, a remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to inject data
into HTTP responses, resulting in proxy cache poisoning. (CVE-2016-8743)

Note: The fix for the CVE-2016-8743 issue causes httpd to return '400 Bad
Request' error to HTTP clients which do not strictly follow HTTP protocol
specification. A newly introduced configuration directive
'HttpProtocolOptions Unsafe' can be used to re-enable the old less strict
parsing. However, such setting also re-introduces the CVE-2016-8743 issue.

Note: Administrators of Red Hat Satellite 5 and Red Hat Satellite Proxy 5
systems should consult Red Hat Knowledgebase article 3013361 linked to in
the references before installing this update.

Bug Fix(es):

  * Previously, httpd was unable to correctly check a boundary of an array,
and in rare cases it attempted to access an element of an array that was
out of bounds. Consequently, httpd terminated unexpectedly with a
segmentation fault at proxy_util.c. With this update, bounds checking has
been fixed, and httpd no longer crashes. (BZ#1463354)");
