NVD Description

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

Twisted before 16.3.1 does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace conflicts and therefore does not protect CGI applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect a CGI application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue.
