CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:10 php to version 0:5.1.6-3.el4s1.10 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2008:0582.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php package and not the php package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The output_add_rewrite_var function in PHP before 5.2.5 rewrites local forms in which the ACTION attribute references a non-local URL, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading the requests for this URL, as demonstrated by a rewritten form containing a local session ID.
