Debian DSA-265-1 : bonsai - several vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 15102

Synopsis

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

Description

Remi Perrot fixed several security related bugs in the bonsai, the Mozilla CVS query tool by web interface. Vulnerabilities include arbitrary code execution, cross-site scripting and access to configuration parameters. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

 - CAN-2003-0152 - Remote execution of arbitrary commands as www-data
 - CAN-2003-0153 - Absolute path disclosure

 - CAN-2003-0154 - Cross site scripting attacks

- CAN-2003-0155 - Unauthenticated access to parameters page

Solution

Upgrade the bonsai package.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.3+cvs20020224-1woody1.


The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since it doesn't contain bonsai.
