The remote host is missing an update to elog
announced via advisory DSA 967-1.
Several security problems have been found in elog, an electonic logbook
to manage notes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project
identifies the following problems:
CVE-2005-4439
GroundZero Security discovered that elog insufficiently checks the
size of a buffer used for processing URL parameters, which might lead
to the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2006-0347
It was discovered that elog contains a directory traveral vulnerability
in the processing of …/ sequences in URLs, which might lead to
information disclosure.
CVE-2006-0348
The code to write the log file contained a format string vulnerability,
which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2006-0597
Overly long revision attributes might trigger a crash due to a buffer
overflow.
CVE-2006-0598
The code to write the log file does not enforce bounds checks properly,
which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2006-0599
elog emitted different errors messages for invalid passwords and invalid
users, which allows an attacker to probe for valid user names.
CVE-2006-0600
An attacker could be driven into infinite redirection with a crafted
fail request, which has denial of service potential.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain elog packages.
