CVE-2015-7519 passenger: Header overwriting issue allowing user impersonation
It was found that when SCGI protocol is used and an app depends on a header set by trusted server that includes a dash, it is possible for a untrusted remote client to set colliding header, which would appear different to the server and won't be overwriteen but preserved, e.g.
Foobar-User: user
Foobar_User: impersonation
Conversion of the headers for SCGI requires dropping the difference (in this case _ and -), which results in Passenger sending two headers with the same key:
HTTP_FOOBAR_USER: user
HTTP_FOOBAR_USER: impersonation
The value of the second HTTP_FOOBAR_USER may overwrite the value of the first if hashmap is used, making the application believe a different value was set by the server. If header i
