CVE-2006-5063

Tilman Koschnick discovered that log entry editing in HTML is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This update disables the vulnerable code.

CVE-2006-5790

Ulf Harnhammar of the Debian Security Audit Project discovered several format string vulnerabilities in elog, which may lead to execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2006-5791

Ulf Harnhammar of the Debian Security Audit Project discovered cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the creation of new logbook entries.

CVE-2006-6318

Jayesh KS and Arun Kethipelly of OS2A discovered that elog performs insufficient error handling in config file parsing, which may lead to denial of service through a NULL pointer dereference.

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

The upcoming stable distribution (etch) will no longer include elog.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2+r1754-1.

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