Debian DSA-1720-1 : typo3-src - several vulnerabilities
medium Nessus Plugin ID 35638
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.Description
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the TYPO3 web content management framework.Marcus Krause and Michael Stucki from the TYPO3 security team discovered that the jumpUrl mechanism discloses secret hashes enabling a remote attacker to bypass access control by submitting the correct value as a URL parameter and thus being able to read the content of arbitrary files.
Jelmer de Hen and Dmitry Dulepov discovered multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the backend user interface allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.
As it is very likely that your encryption key has been exposed we strongly recommend to change your encryption key via the install tool after installing the update.
Solution
Upgrade the typo3 package.For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.2+debian-8.
