Subject: [USN-686-1] AWStats vulnerability

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-686-1          December 04, 2008
awstats vulnerability
CVE-2008-3714
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  awstats                         6.5-1ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 7.10:
  awstats                         6.6+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
  awstats                         6.7.dfsg-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 8.10:
  awstats                         6.7.dfsg-5ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Morgan Todd discovered that AWStats did not correctly strip quotes from
certain parameters, allowing for an XSS attack when running as a CGI.
If a user was tricked by a remote attacker into following a specially
crafted URL, the user's authentication information could be exposed for
the domain where AWStats was hosted.
