DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Apache HttpComponents
HttpClient, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to HttpClient incorrectly sending
the "Proxy-Authorization" header intended for a tunneling proxy to
the final target host, which can be exploited to gain access to the
authorisation credentials.
The security issue is reported in versions prior to 4.1.1.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.1.1.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported in a bug report by Dusan Onofer.
