+ <p>Daniel Knoppel reports:</p>
+ <blockquote cite="https://blog.phusion.nl/2015/12/07/cve-2015-7519/">
+ <p>It was discovered by the SUSE security team that it was possible,
+ in some cases, for clients to overwrite headers set by the server,
+ resulting in a medium level security issue. CVE-2015-7519 has been
+ assigned to this issue.</p>
+ <p>Affected use-cases:</p>
+ <p>Header overwriting may occur if all of the following conditions are met:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Apache integration mode, or standalone+builtin engine without
+ a filtering proxy</li>
+ <li>Ruby or Python applications only (Passenger 5); or any
+ application (Passenger 4)</li>
+ <li>The app depends on a request header containing a dash (-)</li>
+ <li>The header is supposed to be trusted (set by the server)</li>
+ <li>The client correctly guesses the header name</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>This vulnerability has been fixed by filtering out client headers
+ that do not consist of alphanumeric/dash characters (Nginx already
+ did this, so Passenger+Nginx was not affected). If your application
+ depends on headers that don't conform to this, you can add a
+ workaround in Apache specifically for those to convert them to a
+ dash-based format.</p>
