high Nessus Plugin ID 56672

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpLDAPadmin, a web-based interface for administering LDAP servers. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2011-4074 Input appended to the URL in cmd.php (when 'cmd' is set to '_debug') is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

- CVE-2011-4075 Input passed to the 'orderby' parameter in cmd.php (when 'cmd' is set to'query_engine', 'query' is set to 'none', and 'search' is set to e.g.'1') is not properly sanitised in lib/functions.php before being used in a'create_function()' function call. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.

Solution

Upgrade the phpldapadmin packages.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.0.5-6+lenny2.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.0.5-2+squeeze1.
