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

CVE-2006-6318

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.7+r1558-4+sarge3.
