Gentoo: 200412-26 Low Severity: ViewCVS XSS And Information Leak

ViewCVS is vulnerable to an information leak and to cross-site scripting (XSS) issues.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200412-26 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Low Title: ViewCVS: Information leak and XSS vulnerabilities Date: December 28, 2004 Bugs: #72461, #73772 ID: 200412-26 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= ViewCVS is vulnerable to an information leak and to cross-site scripting (XSS) issues. Background ========= ViewCVS is a browser interface for viewing CVS and Subversion version control repositories through a web browser. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/viewcvs = 0.9.2_p20041207-r1 Description ========== The tar export functions in ViewCVS bypass the 'hide_cvsroot' and 'forbidden' settings and therefore expose information that should be kept secret (CAN-2004-0915). Furthermore, some error messages in ViewCVS do not filter user-provided information, making it vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack (CAN-2004-1062). Impact ===== By using the tar export functions, a remote attacker could access information that is configured as restricted. Through the use of a malicious request, an attacker could also inject and execute malicious script code, potentially compromising another user's browser. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All ViewCVS users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot--verbose "> =www-apps/viewcvs-0.9.2_p20041207-r1" References ========= [ 1 ] CAN-2004-0915 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2004-0915 [ 2 ] CAN-2004-1062 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2004-1062 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200412-26 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Debian 605-1 Moderate: Viewcvs Remote Access Settings Issue

Hajvan Sehic discovered several vulnerabilities in viewcvs, a utility for viewing CVS and Subversion repositories via HTTP. When exporting a repository as a tar archive the hide_cvsroot and forbidden settings were not honoured enough.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 605-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze December 6th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : viewcvs Vulnerability : settings not honored Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2004-0915 Hajvan Sehic discovered several vulnerabilities in viewcvs, a utility for viewing CVS and Subversion repositories via HTTP. When exporting a repository as a tar archive the hide_cvsroot and forbidden settings were not honoured enough. When upgrading the package for woody, please make a copy of your /etc/viewcvs/viewcvs.conf file if you have manually edited this file. Upon upgrade the debconf mechanism may alter it in a way so that viewcvs doesn't understand it anymore. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.2-4woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.2+cvs.1.0.dev.2004.07.28-1.2. We recommend that you upgrade your viewcvs package. Upgrade Instructions --------------------wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
