Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882533
Category:	CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:	CentOS Update for golang CESA-2016:1538 centos7
Summary:	Check the version of golang
Description:	Summary: Check the version of golang Vulnerability Insight: The golang packages provide the Go programming language compiler. The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: golang (1.6.3). (BZ#1346331) Security Fix(es): * An input-validation flaw was discovered in the Go programming language built in CGI implementation, which set the environment variable 'HTTP_PROXY' using the incoming 'Proxy' HTTP-request header. The environment variable 'HTTP_PROXY' is used by numerous web clients, including Go's net/http package, to specify a proxy server to use for HTTP and, in some cases, HTTPS requests. This meant that when a CGI-based web application ran, an attacker could specify a proxy server which the application then used for subsequent outgoing requests, allowing a man-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2016-5386) Red Hat would like to thank Scott Geary (VendHQ) for reporting this issue. Affected Software/OS: golang on CentOS 7 Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
