Debian DLA-596-1 : extplorer security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 92970

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was an archive traversal exploit in eXtplorer, a web-based file manager.

The unzip/extract feature allowed for path traversal as decompressed files can be placed outside of the intended target directory if the archive content contained '../' characters.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in extplorer version 2.1.0b6+dfsg.3-4+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your extplorer 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 extplorer package.
