  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Several security problems have been found in elog, an electronic logbook to manage notes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2005-4439

'GroundZero Security' discovered that elog insufficiently checks the size of a buffer used for processing URL parameters, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2006-0347

It was discovered that elog contains a directory traversal vulnerability in the processing of '../' sequences in URLs, which might lead to information disclosure.

CVE-2006-0348

The code to write the log file contained a format string vulnerability, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2006-0597

Overly long revision attributes might trigger a crash due to a buffer overflow.

CVE-2006-0598

The code to write the log file does not enforce bounds checks properly, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2006-0599

elog emitted different errors messages for invalid passwords and invalid users, which allows an attacker to probe for valid user names.

CVE-2006-0600

An attacker could be driven into infinite redirection with a crafted 'fail' request, which has denial of service potential.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain elog packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.7+r1558-4+sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.1+r1642-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your elog package.");
