What is CVE-2016-5385?

CVE-2016-5385 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 19 Jul 2016. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official 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.
