(RHSA-2016:1612) Moderate: rh-php56-php security update

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Server.

Security Fix(es):

• It was discovered that PHP did not properly protect against the HTTP_PROXY variable name clash. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a PHP script to an attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request. (CVE-2016-5385)

Red Hat would like to thank Scott Geary (VendHQ) for reporting this issue.
