Detail

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in mapserver, a CGI-based web framework to publish spatial data and interactive mapping applications. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2011-2703

Several instances of insufficient escaping of user input, leading to SQL injection attacks via OGC filter encoding (in WMS, WFS, and SOS filters).

CVE-2011-2704

Missing length checks in the processing of OGC filter encoding that can lead to stack-based buffer overflows and the execution of arbitrary code.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 5.0.3-3+lenny7.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 5.6.5-2+squeeze2.

For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distributions, this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your mapserver packages.

Id Description
74042 MapServer OGC Filter Boundary Error Overflow

74041 MapServer WMS Time Support Unspecified SQL Injection

MapServer contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the WMS Time Support component not properly sanitizing unspecified user-supplied input. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
74040 MapServer OGC Filter Unspecified SQL Injection

MapServer contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the OGC Filter not properly sanitizing unspecified user-supplied input. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
