CVE-2007-6420
Description
A cross-site request forgery issue was found in the mod_proxy_balancer module. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service if mod_proxy_balancer is enabled and an authenticated user is targeted. (CVE-2007-6420)
Statement
mod_proxy_balancer is shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Application Stack v2. We do not plan on correcting this issue as it poses a very low security risk: The balancer manager is not enabled by default, the user targeted by the CSRF would need to be authenticated, and the consequences of an exploit would be limited to a web server denial of service.
