Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:170-1
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : webmin
Date : September 27, 2006
Affected: 2007.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Webmin before 1.296 and Usermin before 1.226 does not properly handle a
URL with a null ("%00") character, which allows remote attackers to
conduct cross-site scripting (XSS), read CGI program source code, list
directories, and possibly execute programs.
Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
Update:
Packages are now available for Mandriva Linux 2007.
