Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51479
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:777
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2003:777.

thttpd is a very simple and compact HTTP server.

The thttpd package distributed with Conectiva Linux 9
(thttpd-2.20c-22870cl) contains several bugs[1] that prevent it from
being useful. This update fixes these bugs and the following security
vulnerabilities that affect thttpd 2.20c (descriptions borrowed from
the respectives CVE pages):

- Sensitive files disclosure vulnerability[2] (CVE-2001-0892)
With the chroot option enabled, thttpd allows remote attackers to
view sensitive files under the document root (such as .htpasswd) via
a GET request with a trailing '/.'.

- Cross-site scripting vulnerability[3] (CVE-2002-0733)
thttpd allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary scripts via a URL
to a nonexistent page, which causes thttpd to insert the script into
a 404 error message.

- Directory traversal vulnerability[4] (CVE-2002-1562)
When using virtual hosting, thttpd allows remote attackers to read
arbitrary files via '..' (dot dot) sequences in the 'Host:' header.

The thttpd package has been updated to the 2.24 version, the latest
stable one available at this time.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
