-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ OpenPKG Security Advisory The OpenPKG Project http://www.openpkg.org/security.html http://www.openpkg.org openpkg-securityat_private openpkgat_private OpenPKG-SA-2003.036 06-Aug-2003 ________________________________________________________________________ Package: perl-www (CGI.pm) Vulnerability: cross site scripting OpenPKG Specific: no Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages: OpenPKG CURRENT <= perl-www-20030726-20030726 >= perl-www-20030802-20030802 OpenPKG 1.3 <= perl-www-1.3.0-1.3.0 >= perl-www-1.3.1-1.3.1 OpenPKG 1.2 <= perl-www-1.2.0-1.2.0 >= perl-www-1.2.1-1.2.1 Dependent Packages: none Description: According to a security advisory [0] from obscureat_private a cross site scripting vulnerability exists in the start_form() function from CGI.pm [1]. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2003-0615 [2] to the problem. Note that beginning with perl-www-20030609-20030609 and perl-www-1.3.0-1.3.0 a preliminary vendor patch was already included which fixes the specific issue discussed in the original advisory. Our corrected packages now include the more generalized patch the author uses in his latest version. Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q perl-www". If you have the "perl-www" package installed and its version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it (see Solution). [3][4] Solution: Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.3, perform the following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust accordingly). $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org ftp> bin ftp> cd release/1.3/UPD ftp> get perl-www-1.3.1-1.3.1.src.rpm ftp> bye $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig perl-www-1.3.1-1.3.1.src.rpm $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild perl-www-1.3.1-1.3.1.src.rpm $ su - # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/perl-www-1.3.1-1.3.1.*.rpm ________________________________________________________________________ References: [0] http://eyeonsecurity.org/advisories/CGI.pm/adv.html [1] http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/ [2] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0615 [3] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-source [4] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-binary [5] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.2/UPD/perl-www-1.2.1-1.2.1.src.rpm [6] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/UPD/perl-www-1.3.1-1.3.1.src.rpm [7] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.2/UPD/ [8] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/UPD/ [9] http://www.openpkg.org/security.html#signature ________________________________________________________________________ For security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the OpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <openpkgat_private>" (ID 63C4CB9F) of the OpenPKG project which you can retrieve from http://pgp.openpkg.org and hkp://pgp.openpkg.org.
