medium Nessus Plugin ID 51668

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

It was discovered that AWStats did not correctly filter the LoadPlugin configuration option. A local attacker on a shared system could use this to inject arbitrary code into AWStats.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected awstats package.
