Debian DLA-490-1 : bozohttpd security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 91326

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two security vulnerabilities have been discovered in bozohttpd, a small HTTP server.

CVE-2014-5015

Bozotic HTTP server (aka bozohttpd) before 201407081 truncates paths when checking .htpasswd restrictions, which allows remote attackers to bypass the HTTP authentication scheme and access restrictions via a long path.

CVE-2015-8212

A flaw in CGI suffix handler support was found, if the -C option has been used to setup a CGI handler, that could result in remote code execution.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 20111118-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your bozohttpd 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 bozohttpd package.
