-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 164-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze September 10th, 2002 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : cacti Vulnerability : arbitrary code execution Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no A problem in cacti, a PHP based frontend to rrdtool for monitoring systems and services, has been discovered. This could lead into cacti executing arbitrary program code under the user id of the web server. This problem, however, is only persistant to users who already have administrator privileges in the cacti system. This problem has been fixed by removing any dollar signs and backticks from the title string in version 0.6.7-2.1 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.6.8a-2 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since it doesn't contain the cacti package. We recommend that you upgrade your cacti package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
