+ <title>AWStats: Remote code execution</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ AWStats fails to validate certain input, which could lead to the remote
+ execution of arbitrary code or to the leak of information.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ AWStats is an advanced log file analyzer and statistics generator.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ When 'awstats.pl' is run as a CGI script, it fails to validate specific
+ inputs which are used in a Perl open() function call. Furthermore, a
+ user could read log file content even when plugin rawlog was not
+ enabled.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could supply AWStats malicious input, potentially
+ allowing the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the web
+ server. He could also access raw log contents.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Making sure that AWStats does not run as a CGI script will avoid the
+ issue, but we recommend that users upgrade to the latest version, which
+ fixes these bugs.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All AWStats users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-misc/awstats-6.3-r2"</code>
+ <p>
+ Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use
+ webapp-config to finalize the update.
+ </p>
+ </resolution>
