Debian DLA-760-1 : spip security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 96095

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities have been discovered in SPIP, a website publishing engine written in PHP.

CVE-2016-9997

It was discovered that the 'id' parameter to the puce_statut action isn't sanitized properly. An attacker could inject arbitrary HTML code by tricking an authenticated SPIP user to open a specially crafted URL.

CVE-2016-9998

It was discovered that the 'plugin' parameter to the info_plugin action isn't sanitized properly. An attacker could inject arbitrary HTML code by tricking an authenticated SPIP user to open a specially crafted URL.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.17-1+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your spip 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 spip package.
