Synopsis

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

Description

Michal Kedzior found two vulnerabilities in LDAP Account Manager, a web front-end for LDAP directories.

- CVE-2018-8763 The found Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability might allow an attacker to execute JavaScript code in the browser of the victim or to redirect her to a malicious website if the victim clicks on a specially crafted link.

- CVE-2018-8764 The application leaks the CSRF token in the URL, which can be use by an attacker to perform a Cross-Site Request Forgery attack, in which a victim logged in LDAP Account Manager might performed unwanted actions in the front-end by clicking on a link crafted by the attacker.

Solution

Upgrade the ldap-account-manager packages.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 4.7.1-1+deb8u1.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.5-1+deb9u1.
