Description Ville Skyttä 2006-05-06 17:09:48 UTC
awstats < 6.6 has reportedly an arbitrary code execution vulnerability, fixed in
upstream 6.6.  No CVE id yet (I've mailed them), but here's more info:

Comment 1 Aurelien Bompard 2006-05-07 23:44:35 UTC
Awstats 6.6 is still in beta and did not work for me (update gave "Use of
uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at ..."), so I backported the fix
from CVS instead (it's a two-liner).
FC-5 and FC-4 versions building, devel is updated to 6.6 and I'll keep it
updated when a new beta arrives.

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2006-05-09 06:15:31 UTC
It appears that this is not fixed; the problem is in the unsanitized "migrate"
query string parameter.

Comment 3 Aurelien Bompard 2006-05-09 09:06:58 UTC
OK, strangely the files in the 6.6 beta tarball are more recent than what I got
from CVS... And they include the proper fix, which I've backported.
Patch updated, builds requested for FC-5 and FC-4.

Is there a way to contact Fedora Legacy ? The patch should apply on FC-3 and
with possible small modifications to older releases. I could just update FC-3
and request the build, but I have no FC-3 machines to test it on.
