Package : logwatch
Vulnerability : shell command injection

Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2011-0715
Debian Bug : 615995

Dominik George discovered that logwatch does not guard against shell
meta-characters in crafted log file names (such as those produced by
Samba). As a result, an attacker might be able to execute shell
commands on the system running logwatch.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 7.3.6.cvs20080702-2lenny1.
