Debian Security Advisory DSA 523-1 security@debian.org

Package : www-sql
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0455

Ulf Härnhammar discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in www-sql, a CGI program which enables the creation of dynamic web pages by embedding SQL statements in HTML. By exploiting this vulnerability, a local user could cause the execution of arbitrary code by creating a web page and processing it with www-sql.

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in version 0.5.7-17woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your www-sql package.
