Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-897-1 phpsysinfo

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpsysinfo, a PHP
based host information application. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:
Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered several cross site scripting
problems, of which not all were fixed in DSA 724.
Christopher Kunz discovered that local variables get overwritten
unconditionally and are trusted later, which could lead to the
inclusion of arbitrary files.
Christopher Kunz discovered that user-supplied input is used
unsanitised, causing a HTTP Response splitting problem.
For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0-3woody3.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.3-4sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your phpsysinfo package.
