Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

awstats

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 6.3-1ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 6.4-1ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

AWStats did not properly sanitize the 'migrate' CGI parameter. If the update of the stats via web front-end is allowed, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the server with the privileges of the AWStats server.

This does not affect AWStats installations which only build static pages.

Id Description
25284 AWStats migrate Variable Arbitrary Command Execution

AWStats contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary commands via the "|" pipe character. The issue is triggered due to improper sanitization to the 'migrate' variable before being used in an "open()" call. It is possible that the flaw may allow arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
