Package : elog
Vulnerability : several

Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2006-4439 CVE-2006-0347 CVE-2006-0348 CVE-2006-0597

Debian Bug : 349528

Several security problems have been found in elog, an electonic 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 traveral 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.
