-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 967-1 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff February 10th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : elog Vulnerability : several Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE IDs : CVE-2006-4439 CVE-2006-0347 CVE-2006-0348 CVE-2006-0597 CVE-2006-0598 CVE-2006-0599 CVE-2006-0600 Debian Bug : 349528 Several security problems have been found in elog, an electonic logbook to manage notes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems: CVE-2005-4439 "GroundZero Security" discovered that elog insufficiently checks the size of a buffer used for processing URL parameters, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2006-0347 It was discovered that elog contains a directory traveral vulnerability in the processing of "../" sequences in URLs, which might lead to information disclosure. CVE-2006-0348 The code to write the log file contained a format string vulnerability, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2006-0597 Overly long revision attributes might trigger a crash due to a buffer overflow. CVE-2006-0598 The code to write the log file does not enforce bounds checks properly, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2006-0599 elog emitted different errors messages for invalid passwords and invalid users, which allows an attacker to probe for valid user names. CVE-2006-0600 An attacker could be driven into infinite redirection with a crafted "fail" request, which has denial of service potential. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain elog packages. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.7+r1558-4+sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.1+r1642-1. We recommend that you upgrade your elog package.
