Debian DSA-951-2 : trac - missing input sanitising

high Nessus Plugin ID 22817

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

This update corrects the search feature in trac, an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects, which broke with the last security update. For completeness please find below the original advisory text :

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in trac, an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2005-4065 Due to missing input sanitising it is possible to inject arbitrary SQL code into the SQL statements.

- CVE-2005-4644 A cross-site scripting vulnerability has been discovered that allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

Solution

Upgrade the trac package.

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

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.1-3sarge4.
