Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-799-1 webcalendar

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

A trivially-exploitable bug was discovered in webcalendar that
permits a possible hacker to execute arbitrary code with the rights of
the HTTP daemon on a system running a vulnerable version.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain the webcalendar
package.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.45-4sarge2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed
shortly.
We recommend that you upgrade your webcalendar package immediately.
