Debian DSA-2060-1 : cacti - insufficient input sanitization

high Nessus Plugin ID 46875

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Stefan Esser discovered that cacti, a front-end to rrdtool for monitoring systems and services, is not properly validating input passed to the rra_id parameter of the graph.php script. Due to checking the input of $_REQUEST but using $_GET input in a query an unauthenticated attacker is able to perform SQL injections via a crafted rra_id $_GET value and an additional valid rra_id $_POST or $_COOKIE value.

Solution

Upgrade the cacti packages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.7b-2.1+lenny3.
