______________________________________________________________________________ SCO Security Advisory Subject: Linux: Webmin Cross-site Scripting and Session ID Spoofing Vulnerabilities Advisory number: CSSA-2003-002.0 Issue date: 2003 January 09 Cross reference: ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description From the CVE database: Cross-site scripting vulnerability in the authentication page for webmin allows remote attackers to insert script into an error page and possibly steal cookies. Webmin with password timeouts enabled allow local (and possibly remote) attackers to bypass authentication and gain privileges via certain control characters in the authentication information, which can force webmin to accept arbitrary username/session ID combinations. 2. Vulnerable Supported Versions System Package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to webmin-0.89-11.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to webmin-0.89-11.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to webmin-0.89-11.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to webmin-0.89-11.i386.rpm 3. Solution The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand. 4.
