high Nessus Plugin ID 22759
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.Description
Remco Verhoef has discovered a vulnerability in acidlab, Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases, and in acidbase, Basic Analysis and Security Engine, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks.The maintainers of Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) in Debian, of which BASE is a fork off, after a security audit of both BASE and ACID have determined that the flaw found not only affected the base_qry_main.php (in BASE) or acid_qry_main.php (in ACID) component but was also found in other elements of the consoles due to improper parameter validation and filtering.
All the SQL injection bugs and Cross Site Scripting bugs found have been fixed in the Debian package, closing all the different attack vectors detected.
Solution
Upgrade the acidlab and acidbase package.For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.6b20-2.1.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.6b20-10.1.
