Debian: DSA 999-1 Moderate Threat: Lurker Remote Exploit Fix

Lurker's mechanism for specifying configuration files was
vulnerable to being overridden. As lurker includes sections of
unparsed config files in its output, an attacker could manipulate
lurker into reading any file readable by the www-data user.

CVE-2006-1063

It is possible for a remote attacker to create or overwrite files
in any writable directory that is named "mbox".

CVE-2006-1064

Missing input sanitising allows an attacker to inject arbitrary
web script or HTML.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain lurker packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2-5sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your lurker package.
