net/http/httputil: ReverseProxy forwards connection headers if first one is empty
CVE: CVE-2021-33197
Component: golang
CWE: CWE-20
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.3/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Release date: 2021-05-21T00:00:00+00:00

A flaw was found in Go, acting as an unintended proxy or intermediary, where ReverseProxy forwards connection headers if the first one was empty. This flaw allows an attacker to drop arbitrary headers. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity.

Statement: * Since OpenShift Container Platform 3.11 is in Maintenance Phase of the support, only Important and Critical severity vulnerabilities will be addressed at this time.

* For Red Hat OpenStack Platform, because the flaw has a lower impact and the fix would require a substantial amount of development, no update will be provided at this time for the golang-qpid-apache package.

* In Service Telemetry Framework, because the flaw has a lower impact and the package is not directly used by STF, no updates will be provided at this time for the STF containers.
