Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-290-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'awstats' package(s) announced via the USN-290-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'awstats' package(s) announced via the USN-290-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Hendrik Weimer discovered a privilege escalation vulnerability in awstats. By supplying the 'configdir' CGI parameter and setting it to an attacker-controlled directory (such as an FTP account, /tmp, or similar), an attacker could execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the web server (user 'www-data'). This update disables the 'configdir' parameter by default. If all local user accounts can be trusted, it can be re by running awstats with the AWSTATS_ENABLE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable set to a nonempty value. Affected Software/OS: 'awstats' package(s) on Ubuntu 5.04, Ubuntu 5.10, Ubuntu 6.06. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N
