Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian Security Advisory DSA 1242-1 (elog)
Summary:	Debian Security Advisory DSA 1242-1 (elog)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to elog announced via advisory DSA 1242-1. Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in elog, a web-based electronic logbook, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2006-5063 Tilman Koschnick discovered that log entry editing in HTML is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This update disables the vulnerable code. CVE-2006-5790 Ulf Harnhammar of the Debian Security Audit Project discovered several format string vulnerabilities in elog, which may lead to execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2006-5791 Ulf Harnhammar of the Debian Security Audit Project discovered cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the creation of new logbook entries. CVE-2006-6318 Jayesh KS and Arun Kethipelly of OS2A discovered that elog performs insufficient error handling in config file parsing, which may lead to denial of service through a NULL pointer dereference. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.7+r1558-4+sarge3. The upcoming stable distribution (etch) will no longer include elog. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2+r1754-1. We recommend that you upgrade your elog package.
