Package        : cacti
Vulnerability  : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2006-6799
Debian Bug     : 404818

It was discovered that cacti, a frontend to rrdtool, performs insufficient
validation of data passed to the "cmd" script, which allows SQL injection
and the execution of arbitrary shell commands.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.8.6c-7sarge4.

For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) this problem has been
fixed in version 0.8.6i-3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.8.6i-3.

We recommend that you upgrade your cacti package.
