[GLSA-200501-36] AWStats: Remote code execution |
||
AWStats: Remote code execution Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200501-36 (AWStats: Remote code execution) When 'awstats.pl' is run as a CGI script, it fails to validate specific inputs which are used in a Perl open() function call. Furthermore, a user could read log file content even when test rawlog was not enabled. Impact A remote attacker could supply AWStats malicious input, potentially permiting the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the web server. He could also access raw log contents. Workaround Making sure that AWStats does not run as a CGI script will avoid the issue, but we recommend that users upgrade to the latest version, which fixes these bugs.
