Debian DLA-1988-1 : ampache security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 130773

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ampache, a web-based audio file management system.

CVE-2019-12385

A stored XSS exists in the localplay.php LocalPlay 'add instance' functionality. The injected code is reflected in the instances menu.
This vulnerability can be abused to force an admin to create a new privileged user whose credentials are known by the attacker.

CVE-2019-12386

The search engine is affected by a SQL Injection, so any user able to perform lib/class/search.class.php searches (even guest users) can dump any data contained in the database (sessions, hashed passwords, etc.). This may lead to a full compromise of admin accounts, when combined with the weak password generator algorithm used in the lostpassword functionality.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.6-rzb2752+dfsg-5+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ampache 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 ampache, and ampache-common packages.
