Description Vincent Danen 2011-08-08 21:35:13 UTC

A vulnerability was reported [1],[2] in Zabbix where input passed to the "backurl" parameter in acknow.php is improperly sanitized before being returned to the user.  This could be used to facilitate a cross-site scripting attack.  This flaw is fixed in Zabbix 1.8.6 [3].

There were more issues corrected in zabbix 1.8.6, noted below:

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in acknow.php in Zabbix
before 1.8.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or
HTML via the backurl parameter.


Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-3263 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2011-3263
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3263
Assigned: 20110819
Reference: http://www.zabbix.com/rn1.8.6.php
Reference: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-3794

zabbix_agentd in Zabbix before 1.8.6 and 1.9.x before 1.9.4 allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU
consumption) by executing the vfs.file.cksum command for a special
device, as demonstrated by the /dev/urandom device.


Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-3264 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2011-3264
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3264
Assigned: 20110819
Reference: http://www.zabbix.com/rn1.8.6.php
Reference: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-3840

Zabbix before 1.8.6 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive
information via an invalid srcfld2 parameter to popup.php, which
reveals the installation path in an error message.

Comment 4 Vincent Danen 2011-08-19 21:45:58 UTC

Looks like we're ok on the Fedora side (1.8.6 in F14/F15, in testing for F16), and EPEL6 has 1.8.6 in testing as well.  I'm unsure whether or not all of these flaws affect EPEL4/5 though; it's at 1.4.6/1.4.7.

Comment 5 Volker Fröhlich 2013-01-22 15:58:01 UTC

Only EPEL 5 should be left:

Comment 6 Volker Fröhlich 2014-01-06 19:33:48 UTC

zabbix 1.4.7 was retired and blocked in EPEL 5, as there is no upstream support for this version. This was the only remaining version potentially or actually prone to this issue, thus closing.

Users are encouraged to update to zabbix20 or later.
