NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-src package and not the golang-src package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The net/http package in Go through 1.6 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.
