NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python package and not the python package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The CGIHandler class in Python before 2.7.12 does not protect against the HTTP_PROXY variable name clash in a CGI script, which could allow a remote attacker to redirect HTTP requests.
