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.

We recommend that you update your webfs package.");
