Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-1002-1 webcalendar

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Several security related problems have been discovered in webcalendar,
a PHP based multi-user calendar. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities:
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities permit remote attackers to
execute arbitrary SQL commands.
Missing input sanitising permits a possible hacker to overwrite local
files.
A CRLF injection vulnerability permits remote attackers to modify
HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain webcalendar packages.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.9.45-4sarge3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.2-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your webcalendar package.
