Debian 3.0 DSA 526-1 Critical: Webmin Brute Force Issues

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in webmin:

CAN-2004-0582: Unknown vulnerability in Webmin 1.140 allows remote
attackers to bypass access control rules and gain read access to
configuration information for a module.

CAN-2004-0583: The account lockout functionality in (1) Webmin 1.140
and (2) Usermin 1.070 does not parse certain character strings, which
allows remote attackers to conduct a brute force attack to guess user
IDs and passwords.

For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been
fixed in version 0.94-7woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.150-1.

We recommend that you update your webmin package.
