Debian DLA-463-1 : ikiwiki security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 91022

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Simon McVittie discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the error reporting of Ikiwiki, a wiki compiler. This update also hardens ikiwiki's use of imagemagick in the img plugin.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this problem has been fixed in version 3.20120629.2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ikiwiki packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected ikiwiki package.
