Detail

A cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in smokeping, a latency logging and graphing system. Input passed to the "displaymode" parameter was not properly sanitized. An attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.6-5+squeeze1.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.7-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.7-1.

Id Description
78446 Smokeping smokeping_cgi displaymode Parameter XSS

Smokeping contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'displaymode' parameter upon submission to smokeping_cgi. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
