Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Webmin and Usermin are vulnerable to cross-site scripting |
19 |
vulnerabilities (XSS). |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Webmin is a web-based administrative interface for Unix-like systems. |
25 |
Usermin is a simplified version of Webmin designed for use by normal |
26 |
users rather than system administrators. |

Description |
41 |
=========== |
42 |
|
43 |
The pam_login.cgi file does not properly sanitize user input before |
44 |
sending it back as output to the user. |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
An unauthenticated attacker could entice a user to browse a specially |
50 |
crafted URL, allowing for the execution of script code in the context |
51 |
of the user's browser and for the theft of browser credentials. This |
52 |
may permit the attacker to login to Webmin or Usermin with the user's |
53 |
permissions. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All Webmin users should update to the latest stable version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot ">=app-admin/webmin-1.350" |
67 |
|
68 |
All Usermin users should update to the latest stable version: |
69 |
|
70 |
# emerge --sync |
71 |
# emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot ">=app-admin/usermin-1.280" |
