DSA 2020-1: New ikiwiki packages fix cross-site scripting

Posted by: Bob on: 03/20/2010 04:45 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

The Debian Security Team published a new security update for Debian GNU/Linux. Here the announcement:




-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-2020-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde
March 20th, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : ikiwiki
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitization
Problem type : local/remote
Debian-specific: no
Debian bug : none
CVE ID : none assigned yet

Ivan Shmakov discovered that the htmlscrubber component of ikwiki, a wiki
compiler, performs insufficient input sanitization on data:image/svg+xml
URIs. As these can contain script code this can be used by an attacker
to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.


For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.53.5.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.20100312.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.20100312.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

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.


Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny
- --------------------------------

Debian (stable)

Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
