medium Nessus Plugin ID 25096

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that WebCalendar, a PHP-based calendar application, performs insufficient sanitising in the exports handler, which allows injection of web script.

Solution

Upgrade the webcalendar package.

For the old stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.45-4sarge7.

The stable distribution (etch) no longer contains WebCalendar packages.
