critical Nessus Plugin ID 102548

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

spikekill.php in Cacti before 1.1.16 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the avgnan, outlier-start, or outlier-end parameter. (CVE-2017-12065)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in aggregate_graphs.php in Cacti before 1.1.16 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via specially crafted HTTP Referer headers, related to the $cancel_url variable. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix (lack of the htmlspecialchars ENT_QUOTES flag) for CVE-2017-11163 . (CVE-2017-12066)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in link.php in Cacti 1.1.12 allows remote anonymous users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the id parameter, related to the die_html_input_error function in lib/html_validate.php. (CVE-2017-10970)

Solution

Run 'yum update cacti' to update your system.
