high Nessus Plugin ID 22808

Synopsis

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

Description

A design error has been discovered in the Albatross web application toolkit that causes user-supplied data to be used as part of template execution and hence arbitrary code execution.

Solution

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain albatross packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.20-2.
