Detail
| miniserv.pl in the webmin package does not properly handle metacharacters, such as line feeds and carriage returns, in Base64-encoded strings used in Basic authentication. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to spoof a session ID, and thereby gain root privileges. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.94-7woody1. The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain a webmin package. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem is fixed in version 1.070-1. We recommend that you update your webmin package. |

|---|---|
| 10803 | Webmin/Usermin miniserv.pl Base-64 String Metacharacter Handling Session Spoo... Webmin and Usermin both contain a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access. The issue is due to a lack of proper sanitization for input supplied to the miniserv.pl script. If an attacker has knowledge of a valid username, that person can spoof a session ID, which is then added to the access control list, giving the attacker full access to the system (and thus root privileges on the system running the vulnerable program). |
