    Package : awstats
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2005-1527
    Debian Bugs : 322591 334833 336137

    Peter Vreugdenhil discovered that awstats, a featureful web server log
    analyser, passes user-supplied data to an eval() function, allowing
    remote attackers to execute arbitrary Perl commands.

    The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

    For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
    version 6.4-1sarge1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 6.4-1.1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your awstats package.

    Upgrade Instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
            will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
            will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
            will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
