Updated Apache2 and LibArchive Packages has been released for Debian 7 LTS:

[DLA 553-1] apache2 security update

Package : apache2
Version : 2.2.22-13+deb7u7
CVE ID : CVE-2016-5387

Scott Geary of VendHQ discovered that the Apache HTTPD server used the
value of the Proxy header from HTTP requests to initialize the
HTTP_PROXY environment variable for CGI scripts, which in turn was
incorrectly used by certain HTTP client implementations to configure the
proxy for outgoing HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use
this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a CGI script to an
attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this problem has been fixed in version
2.2.22-13+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libarchive, a library for
reading and writing archives in various formats. An attacker can take
advantage of these flaws to cause a denial-of-service against an
application using the libarchive library (application crash), or
potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the application.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
3.0.4-3+wheezy2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libarchive packages.
