Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : webmin (MDKSA-2001:059)

high Nessus Plugin ID 13875

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

Recently, Caldera found that when webmin starts a system daemon from the web frontend it does not clear its environment variables. Since these variables contain the authorization of the administrator, any daemon would also get these variables.

Solution

Update the affected webmin package.
