GLSA-200701-12 : Mono: Information disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 24210

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200701-12 (Mono: Information disclosure)

 Jose Ramon Palanco has discovered that the System.Web class in the XSP for the ASP.NET server 1.1 through 2.0 in Mono does not properly validate or sanitize local pathnames which could allow server-side file content disclosure.
 Impact :

 An attacker could append a space character to a URI and obtain unauthorized access to the source code of server-side files. An attacker could also read credentials by requesting Web.Config%20 from a Mono server.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All Mono users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-lang/mono-1.2.2.1'
