Background ========== qmailAdmin is a free software package that provides a web interface for managing a qmail system with virtual domains. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-mail/qmailadmin < 1.2.10 >= 1.2.10 Description =========== qmailAdmin fails to properly handle the "PATH_INFO" variable in qmailadmin.c. The PATH_INFO is a standard CGI environment variable filled with user supplied data. Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending qmailAdmin a maliciously crafted URL that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running qmailAdmin. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All qmailAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/qmailadmin-1.2.10" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-1141 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1141 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200611-15.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.
