DSA-1539 mapserver -- several vulnerabilitiesID: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:7603 | Date: (C)2009-12-15 (M)2021-06-02 |
Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
Chris Schmidt and Daniel Morissette discovered two vulnerabilities in mapserver, a development environment for spatial and mapping applications. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following two problems: Lack of input sanitizing and output escaping in the CGI mapserver's template handling and error reporting routines leads to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Missing bounds checking in mapserver's template handling leads to a stack-based buffer overrun vulnerability, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the CGI or httpd user.
