CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : webalizer
SUMMARY : Webalizer cross site scripting vulnerability
DATE : 2001-11-09 13:30:00
ID : CLA-2001:435
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
"The Webalizer" is a web server log file analysis program which
produces usage statistics in HTML format.
Magnux Software[1] discovered and publicized[2] a cross site
scripting vulnerability[3] in webalizer that allows an attacker to
insert malicious HTML tags directly into the generated reports. Doing
so, he/she can force the viewer (using a web browser) to visit some
URL or even execute some unwanted code (like javascripts), which is
an unexpected behaviour.
SOLUTION
All webalizer users should apply the upgrade.
