Detail
| 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. |

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 28338 | Webmin/Usermin NULL Character Unspecified XSS Webmin/Usermin contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not sanitize input passed in a NULL character. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
| 28337 | Webmin/Usermin NULL Character Unspecified Source Disclosure Webmin/Usermin contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered because input passed in a NULL character is not properly verified, this will disclose the source code of arbitrary CGI and Perl programs resulting in a loss of confidentiality. |
| 26772 | Webmin/Usermin simplify_path() Failure Arbitrary File Disclosure Webmin / Usermin contain a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when an unspecified error occurs during URL handling by simplify_path() function, which will disclose files content information resulting in a loss of confidentiality. |
