    Package : twiki
    Vulnerability : command execution
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-3195
    Debian Bug : 499534

    It was discovered that twiki, a web based collaboration platform,
    didn't properly sanitize the image parameter in its configuration script.
    This could allow remote users to execute arbitrary commands upon the
    system, or read any files which were readable by the webserver user.

    For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1:4.0.5-9.1etch1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your twiki 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.
