announced via advisory DSA 999-1.
Several security related problems have been discovered in lurker, an
archive tool for mailing lists with integrated search engine. The
Common Vulnerability and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
CVE-2006-1062
Lurker's mechanism for specifying configuration files was
vulnerable to being overridden. As lurker includes sections of
unparsed config files in its output, an attacker could manipulate
lurker into reading any file readable by the www-data user.
CVE-2006-1063
It is possible for a remote attacker to create or overwrite files
in any writable directory that is named mbox.
CVE-2006-1064
Missing input sanitising allows an attacker to inject arbitrary
web script or HTML.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain lurker packages.";
