The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'webfs' package(s) announced via the DSA-392 advisory. Jens Steube reported two vulnerabilities in webfs, a lightweight HTTP server for static content. Virtual hosting is enabled, allowing retrieval of directory listings or files above the document root. A long pathname could overflow a buffer allocated on the stack, allowing execution of arbitrary code

CAN-2003-0832 - When virtual hosting is enabled, a remote client could specify '..' as the hostname in a request, allowing retrieval of directory listings or files above the document root.

CAN-2003-0833 - A long pathname could overflow a buffer allocated on the stack, allowing execution of arbitrary code. In order to exploit this vulnerability, it would be necessary to be able to create directories on the server in a location which could be accessed by the web server. In conjunction with CAN-2003-0832, this could be a world-writable directory such as /var/tmp.

For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.17.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.20.
