Vulnerability Assessment Details

[DSA1152] DSA-1152-1 trac

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-1152-1 trac

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Felix Wiemann discovered that trac, an enhanced Wiki and issue
tracking system for software development projects, can be used to
disclose arbitrary local files. To fix this problem, python-docutils
needs to be updated as well.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.8.1-3sarge5 of trac and version 0.3.7-2sarge1 of
python-docutils.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.6-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your trac and python-docutils packages.
