TITLE:
DirectAdmin Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37965

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37965/

DESCRIPTION:
SecurityRules has reported a vulnerability in DirectAdmin, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request
forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. add an administrator account
if a logged-in administrator visits a malicious web site.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 1.34.4 and prior.

SOLUTION:
A pre-release patch is available via the DirectAdmin clients section
(https://www.directadmin.com/clients).

The patch is also scheduled for inclusion in version 1.34.5.
