Debian DSA-1976-1 : dokuwiki - several vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 44840

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in dokuwiki, a standards compliant simple to use wiki. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2010-0287 It was discovered that an internal variable is not properly sanitized before being used to list directories. This can be exploited to list contents of arbitrary directories.

- CVE-2010-0288 It was discovered that the ACL Manager plugin doesn't properly check the administrator permissions. This allow an attacker to introduce arbitrary ACL rules and thus gaining access to a closed Wiki.

- CVE-2010-0289 It was discovered that the ACL Manager plugin doesn't have protections against cross-site request forgeries (CSRF). This can be exploited to change the access control rules by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a malicious website.

The oldstable distribution (etch) is not affected by these problems.

Solution

Upgrade the dokuwiki package.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 0.0.20080505-4+lenny1.
