Debian DSA-772-1 : apt-cacher - missing input sanitising

high Nessus Plugin ID 19373

Synopsis

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

Description

Eduard Bloch discovered a bug in apt-cacher, a caching system for Debian package and source files, that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the caching host as user www-data.

Solution

Upgrade the apt-cacher package.

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

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.4sarge1.
