bundle update passengerDetails
`agent/Core/Controller/SendRequest.cpp` in Phusion Passenger before 4.0.60 and 5.0.x before 5.0.22, when used in Apache integration mode or in standalone mode without a filtering proxy, allows remote attackers to spoof headers passed to applications by using an `_` (underscore) character instead of a `-` (dash) character in an HTTP header, as demonstrated by an `X_User` header.
