Debian DSA-3275-1 : fusionforge - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 83908

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Ansgar Burchardt discovered that the Git plugin for FusionForge, a web-based project-management and collaboration software, does not sufficiently validate user provided input as parameter to the method to create secondary Git repositories. A remote attacker can use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as root via a specially crafted URL.

Solution

Upgrade the fusionforge packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 5.3.2+20141104-3+deb8u1.
