Background ========== ht://Dig is an HTTP/HTML indexing and searching system. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-misc/htdig < 3.1.6-r7 >= 3.1.6-r7 Description =========== Michael Krax discovered that ht://Dig fails to validate the 'config' parameter before displaying an error message containing the parameter. This flaw could allow an attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. Impact ====== By sending a carefully crafted message, an attacker can inject and execute script code in the victim's browser window. This allows to modify the behaviour of ht://Dig, and/or leak session information such as cookies to the attacker. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All ht://Dig users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-misc/htdig-3.1.6-r7" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-0085 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0085 [ 2 ] SecurityTracker #1013078 http://securitytracker.com/alerts/2005/Feb/1013078.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200502-16.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
