Tracker summary

CVE-2016-5385 medium priority: Ubuntu including 2 source packages (php5, php7.0), 10 status rows across 5 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, wily, xenial): DNE 4, released 4, ignored 1, needs-triage 1.

Description:

PHP through 7.0.8 does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace conflicts and therefore does not protect applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, as demonstrated by (1) an application that makes a getenv('HTTP_PROXY') call or (2) a CGI configuration of PHP, aka an "httpoxy" issue.
