CVE ID         : CVE-2015-8377 CVE-2015-8604

Two SQL injection vulnerabilities were discovered in cacti, a web

can be used by an attacker in parameters of the graphs_new.php script to
execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed
in version 0.8.8a+dfsg-5+deb7u8.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.8.8b+dfsg-8+deb8u4.

For the testing distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed
in version 0.8.8f+ds1-4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.8.8f+ds1-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your cacti packages.
