Detail

Several security related problems have been discovered in lurker, an archive tool for mailing lists with integrated search engine. The Common Vulnerability and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2006-1062

Lurker's mechanism for specifying configuration files was vulnerable to being overridden. As lurker includes sections of unparsed config files in its output, an attacker could manipulate lurker into reading any file readable by the www-data user.

CVE-2006-1063

It is possible for a remote attacker to create or overwrite files in any writable directory that is named "mbox".

CVE-2006-1064

Missing input sanitising allows an attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain lurker packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.2-5sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your lurker package.

Id Description
23696 Lurker Unspecified XSS

Lurker contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate unspecified or unknown variables upon submission to an unspecified script. 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.
