Package : logwatch
Vulnerability : shell command injection
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2011-0715
Debian Bug : 615995
Dominik George discovered that logwatch does not guard against shell
meta-characters in crafted log file names (such as those produced by
Samba). As a result, an attacker might be able to execute shell
commands on the system running logwatch.
For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 7.3.6.cvs20080702-2lenny1.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 7.3.6.cvs20090906-1squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 7.3.6.cvs20090906-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your logwatch packages.
