Debian DLA-836-2 : munin regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 97394

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The update for munin issued as DLA-836-1 caused a regression in the zooming functionality in munin-cgi-graph. Updated packages are now available to correct this issue. For reference, the original advisory text follows.

Stevie Trujillo discovered a command injection vulnerability in munin, a network-wide graphing framework. The CGI script for drawing graphs allowed to pass arbitrary GET parameters to local shell command, allowing command execution as the user that runs the webserver.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.6-4+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your munin packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
