Forgot to add a sample request to cause the issue:

GET http://192.168.1.73/zabbix/popup.php?dstfrm=Action&dstfld1=new_operation%5Bobjectid%5D&dstfld2=object_name&srctbl=usrgrp&srcfld1=usrgrpid&srcfld2=password&submit=1 HTTP/1.1

The "password" value is passed to the srcfld2 parameter triggering the error.

The srctbl parameter isn't validated either. By changing this to any correct table name in the DB you can output contents of the table.

Though Zabbix SIA might already stopped to maintain 1.6.x, because this is security issue I checked this issue in Zabbix-1.6.9.
Zabbix-1.6-9 is also affected.
So, I made a patch for Zabbix-1.6.9.

Is Takanori's patch sufficient to settle the issue? EPEL 5 still has 1.4.7 and it doesn't seem to be solved there. Will this patch do?

Sorry, I can't attach it here.
