Amazon Linux AMI : httpd (ALAS-2015-578)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 85451

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

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.

Solution

Run 'yum update httpd' to update your system.
