DSA-764-1 cacti Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in cacti, a round-robin database (RRD) tool that helps create graphs from database information. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems: Maciej Piotr Falkiewicz and an anonymous researcher discovered an input validation bug that permits a possible hacker to include arbitrary PHP code from remote sites which will permit the execution of arbitrary code on the server running cacti. Due to missing input validation cacti permits a remote attacker to insert arbitrary SQL statements. Maciej Piotr Falkiewicz discovered an input validation bug that permits a possible hacker to include arbitrary PHP code from remote sites which will permit the execution of arbitrary code on the server running cacti. Stefan Esser discovered that the update for the above mentioned vulnerabilities does not perform proper input validation to protect against common attacks. Stefan Esser discovered that the update for CVE-2005-1525 permits remote attackers to modify session information to gain rights and disable the use of addslashes to protect against SQL injection. For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.6.7-2.5. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.6c-7sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.6f-2. We recommend that you upgrade your cacti package.
