Debian DLA-1238-1 : awstats security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 105703

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Awstats version 7.6 and earlier is vulnerable to a path traversal flaw in the handling of the 'config' and 'migrate' parameters resulting in unauthenticated remote code execution.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 7.0~dfsg-7+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your awstats packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected awstats package.
