GLSA-200803-21 : Sarg: Remote execution of arbitrary code

critical Nessus Plugin ID 31447

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-200803-21 (Sarg: Remote execution of arbitrary code)

 Sarg doesn't properly check its input for abnormal content when processing Squid log files.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker using a vulnerable Squid as a proxy server or a reverse-proxy server can inject arbitrary content into the 'User-Agent' HTTP client header, that will be processed by sarg, which will lead to the execution of arbitrary code, or JavaScript injection, allowing Cross-Site Scripting attacks and the theft of credentials.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All sarg users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-analyzer/sarg-2.2.5'
