Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Emeric Boit of ANSSI reported that SPIP, a website engine for publishing, insufficiently sanitises the value from the X-Forwarded-Host HTTP header field. An unauthenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause remote code execution.

Upgrade the spip packages.
