Debian DSA-739-1 : trac - missing input sanitising

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18631

Synopsis

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

Description

Stefan Esser discovered an input validation flaw within Trac, a wiki and issue tracking system, that allows download/upload of files and therefore can lead to remote code execution in some configurations.

Solution

Upgrade the trac package.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain the trac package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.1-3sarge2.
