  - Fixed Apache2.4 and Apache2.2 runtime configuration     issue (boo#1101139).

Multiple issues have been found in cacti, a server monitoring system, potentially resulting in SQL code execution or information disclosure by authenticated users.

  - CVE-2019-16723     Authenticated users may bypass authorization checks for     viewing a graph by submitting requests with modified     local_graph_id parameters.

  - CVE-2019-17357     The graph administration interface insufficiently     sanitizes the template_id parameter, potentially     resulting in SQL injection. This vulnerability might be     leveraged by authenticated attackers to perform     unauthorized SQL code execution on the database.

  - CVE-2019-17358     The sanitize_unserialize_selected_items function     (lib/functions.php) insufficiently sanitizes user input     before deserializing it, potentially resulting in unsafe     deserialization of user-controlled data. This     vulnerability might be leveraged by authenticated     attackers to influence the program control flow or cause     memory corruption.

- Update to 1.2.8
