Debian DSA-526-1 : webmin - several vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 15363

Synopsis

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

Description

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in webmin :

 CAN-2004-0582: Unknown vulnerability in Webmin 1.140 allows remote attackers to bypass access control rules and gain read access to configuration information for a module.

 CAN-2004-0583: The account lockout functionality in (1) Webmin 1.140 and (2) Usermin 1.070 does not parse certain character strings, which allows remote attackers to conduct a brute-force attack to guess user IDs and passwords.

Solution

For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been fixed in version 0.94-7woody2.

We recommend that you update your webmin package.
