aru Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2005:223 : webmin Updated webmin package fixes format string vulnerability December 2nd, 2005 Jack Louis discovered a format string vulnerability in miniserv.pl Perl web server in Webmin before 1.250 and Usermin before 1.180, with syslog logging enabled. This can allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or memory consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the username parameter to the login form, which is ultimately used in a syslog call. The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are: 10.1 CS2.1 CS3.0 10.2 2006.0 Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: wwwnew.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2005:223 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-3912 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v: mdksec2mub,v 0.15 2005/11/24 16:53:12 aru Exp aru $) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
