[Bug 1875299] Re: Apache's mod_remoteip: IP address spoofing via X-Forwarded-For when mod_rewrite rule is triggered

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Next steps:

1) We need to check if this problem is fixed in the current development
release of Ubuntu, and if a fix is needed in any other stable releases.

2) We need a step-by-step test case to reproduce the problem.

If you could help with either of these, this would be appreciated and
help us land a fix.

  Apache's mod_remoteip: IP address spoofing via X-Forwarded-For when
  mod_rewrite rule is triggered

Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  There is a bug in mod_remoteip (a part of Apache Web Server): https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60251
  Although the status of this bug is "NEW", actually it was fixed in Apache 2.4.24.
  Although a CVE id was not requested yet, actually it is a vulnerability.

  The fix was not backported to Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial).

  Impact: if a victim uses Apache rewrite rules, then an attacker can
  spoof his IP address for logs and PHP scripts.
