Debian DSA-1959-1 : ganeti - missing input sanitation

high Nessus Plugin ID 44824

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that ganeti, a virtual server cluster manager, does not validate the path of scripts passed as arguments to certain commands, which allows local or remote users (via the web interface in versions 2.x) to execute arbitrary commands on a host acting as a cluster master.

The oldstable distribution (etch) does not include ganeti.

Solution

Upgrade the ganeti packages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.6-3+lenny2.
