Package        : lurker
Vulnerability  : several
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs        : CVE-2006-1062 CVE-2006-1063 CVE-2006-1064

Several security related problems have been discovered in lurker, an
archive tool for mailing lists with integrated search engine.  The
Common Vulnerability and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CVE-2006-1062

    Lurker's mechanism for specifying configuration files was
    vulnerable to being overridden.  As lurker includes sections of
    unparsed config files in its output, an attacker could manipulate
    lurker into reading any file readable by the www-data user.

CVE-2006-1063

    It is possible for a remote attacker to create or overwrite files
    in any writable directory that is named "mbox".

CVE-2006-1064

    Missing input sanitising allows an attacker to inject arbitrary
    web script or HTML.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain lurker packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2-5sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your lurker package.
