+ <title>AWStats: Remote execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ AWStats contains a bug in the sanitization of the input parameters which
+ can lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">awstats</product>
+ <announced>June 07, 2006</announced>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="www-misc/awstats" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">6.5-r1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">6.5-r1</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ AWStats is an advanced log file analyzer and statistics generator.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Hendrik Weimer has found that if updating the statistics via the
+ web frontend is enabled, it is possible to inject arbitrary code via a
+ pipe character in the "migrate" parameter. Additionally, r0t has
+ discovered that AWStats fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input
+ in awstats.pl.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the server in the
+ context of the application running the AWStats CGI script if updating
+ of the statistics via web frontend is allowed. Nonetheless, all
+ configurations are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in
+ awstats.pl, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary scripts
+ running in the context of the victim's browser.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Disable statistics updates using the web frontend to avoid code
+ injection. However, there is no known workaround at this time
+ concerning the cross-site scripting vulnerability.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All AWStats users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-misc/awstats-6.5-r1&quot;</code>
