Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2005-3912 CVE-2006-3392 CVE-2006-4542
BugTraq ID     : 15629 18744 19820
Debian Bug     : 341394 381537 391284

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in webmin, a web-based
administration toolkit.

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 arbirary code.

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.
