Debian DLA-1241-1 : libkohana2-php security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 105797

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

David Sopas discovered that Kohana, a PHP framework, was vulnerable to a Cross-site scripting (XSS) attack that allowed remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by bypassing the strip_image_tags protection mechanism in system/classes/Kohana/Security.php. This issue was resolved by permanently removing the strip_image_tags function.
Users are advised to sanitize user input by using external libraries instead.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.3.4-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libkohana2-php 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.
