Debian DLA-1269-1 : dokuwiki security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 106592

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that an XHR/AJAX call did not properly encode user input in the 'dokuwiki' wiki platform. This resulted in a reflected file download vulnerability.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in dokuwiki version 0.0.20120125b-2+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your dokuwiki 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 dokuwiki package.
