DSA-1239-1 sql-ledger

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in SQL Ledger, a web
based double-entry accounting program, which may lead to the execution
of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
Chris Travers discovered that the session management can be tricked
into hijacking existing sessions.
Chris Travers discovered that directory traversal vulnerabilities
can be exploited to execute arbitrary Perl code.
It was discovered that missing input sanitising permits execution of
arbitrary Perl code.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.7-2sarge1.
For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) these problems have been
fixed in version 2.6.21-1.
