-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : webalizer SUMMARY : Buffer overflow DATE : 2002-04-26 13:55:00 ID : CLA-2002:476 RELEVANT RELEASES : 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0, 8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION "webalizer"[1][4] is a program which analyzes web server log files and generates lots of useful statistics. Spybreak reported[2] a buffer overflow vulnerability[3] in the DNS resolver code. This flaw could possibly be exploited by a remote attacker in control of a DNS server which would be queried by the webalizer program. Webalizer in Conectiva Linux is not executed by default, it is necessary for the user to configure and enable a cron job for it to run. SOLUTION It is recommended that all webalizer users upgrade their packages.
