Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : webmin (MDKSA-2006:170-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 24556

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

Webmin before 1.296 and Usermin before 1.226 does not properly handle a URL with a null ('%00') character, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS), read CGI program source code, list directories, and possibly execute programs.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Update :

Packages are now available for Mandriva Linux 2007.

Solution

Update the affected webmin package.
