Ubuntu Security Notice 1182-1 - Yoshihiro Ishikawa discovered that the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) was vulnerable to cross-site request forgeries (CSRF). If a Samba administrator were tricked into clicking a link on a specially crafted web page, an attacker could trigger commands that could modify the Samba configuration. Nobuhiro Tsuji discovered that the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) did not properly sanitize its input when processing password change requests, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain.
