webmin

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in webmin, a web-based
administration toolkit. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following vulnerabilities:

• CVE-2005-3912
  A format string vulnerability in miniserv.pl could allow an
  attacker to cause a denial of service by crashing the
  application or exhausting system resources, and could
  potentially allow arbitrary code execution.
• CVE-2006-3392
  Improper input sanitization in miniserv.pl could allow an
  attacker to read arbitrary files on the webmin host by providing
  a specially crafted URL path to the miniserv http server.
• CVE-2006-4542
  Improper handling of null characters in URLs in miniserv.pl
  could allow an attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks,
  read CGI program source code, list local directories, and
  potentially execute arbitrary code.

Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64,
m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.

For the stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.180-3sarge1.

Webmin is not included in unstable (sid) or testing (etch), so these
problems are not present.

We recommend that you upgrade your webmin (1.180-3sarge1) package.
