- It used to be possible to set an arbitrary $HTTP_PROXY environment variable for
request handlers -- like CGI scripts -- by including a specially crafted HTTP
header in the request (CVE-2016-5387). As a result, these server components
would potentially direct all their outgoing HTTP traffic through a malicious
proxy server. This patch fixes the issue: the updated Apache server ignores
such HTTP headers and never sets $HTTP_PROXY for sub-processes (unless a value
has been explicitly configured by the administrator in the configuration file).
(bsc#988488)
- Ignore SIGINT signal in child processes. This fixes a race condition in
signals handling when httpd is running on foreground and the user hits ctrl+c.
(bsc#970391)
- Don't put the backend in error state (by default) when 500/503 is overridden.
(bsc#951692)
- Remove obsolete /usr/share/apache2/rc.apache2 sample script. (bsc#973381)");
