Debian DSA-2414-2 : fex - insufficient input sanitization

medium Nessus Plugin ID 58077

Synopsis

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

Description

Nicola Fioravanti discovered that F*X, a web service for transferring very large files, is not properly sanitizing input parameters of the 'fup'script. An attacker can use this flaw to conduct reflected cross-site scripting attacks via various script parameters.

Solution

Upgrade the fex packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 20100208+debian1-1+squeeze3.
