Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56796
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-285-1 (awstats)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to awstats
announced via advisory USN-285-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected: awstats

AWStats did not properly sanitize the 'migrate' CGI parameter. If the
update of the stats via web front-end is allowed, a remote attacker
could execute arbitrary commands on the server with the privileges of
the AWStats server.

This does not affect AWStats installations which only build static
pages.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 6.3-1ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 6.4-1ubuntu1.1 (for
Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to
effect the necessary changes.
