Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to webmin announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:223. Jack Louis discovered a format string vulnerability in miniserv.pl Perl web server in Webmin before 1.250 and Usermin before 1.180, with syslog logging enabled. This can allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or memory consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the username parameter to the login form, which is ultimately used in a syslog call. Affected: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 2.1, Corporate 3.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2005:223 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
