Rémi Perrot fixed several security related bugs in the bonsai, the
Mozilla CVS query tool by web interface. Vulnerabilities include
arbitrary code execution, cross-site scripting and access to
configuration parameters. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
* CAN-2003-0152 - Remote execution of arbitrary commands as www-data
* CAN-2003-0153 - Absolute path disclosure
* CAN-2003-0154 - Cross site scriptiong attacks
* CAN-2003-0155 - Unauthenticated access to parameters page
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3+cvs20020224-1woody1.
The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since it doesn't
contain bonsai.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3+cvs20030317-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your bonsai package.
