Debian DSA-2056-1 : zonecheck - missing input sanitizing

medium Nessus Plugin ID 46831

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that in ZoneCheck, a tool to check DNS configurations, the CGI does not perform sufficient sanitation of user input; an attacker can take advantage of this and pass script code in order to perform cross-site scripting attacks.

Solution

Upgrade the zonecheck packages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.4-13lenny1.
