RHSA-2015:1668 - Moderate: httpd security update
Synopsis
Moderate: httpd security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory Moderate
Topic
Updated httpd packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Description
The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server.
Multiple flaws were found in the way httpd parsed HTTP requests and responses using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted request, which httpd would decode differently from an HTTP proxy software in front of it, possibly leading to HTTP request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2015-3183)
All httpd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, the httpd service will be restarted automatically.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
