CVE-2009-0796: XSS

First published: Wed Apr 01 2009(Updated: )

A flaw was found in the httpd mod_perl Apache::Status module. If a site has the non default setting of making /perl-status page accessible, remote attackers could use that flaw to trick users or steal sensitive browser data. The original public announcement can be found here: <a href="http://marc.info/?l=apache-modperl&amp;m=123862312808765&amp;w=2">http://marc.info/?l=apache-modperl&amp;m=123862312808765&amp;w=2</a> The CVE id mentioned in the above mail is wrong, <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2009-0796">CVE-2009-0796</a> is the proper CVE id.
