CVE-2007-5899

Publication date 20 November 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

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.
